Fiery Clouds


Fiery Clouds
a study
6 x 7 1/2 pastel on sanded paper
Available for sale


This is a small study for a larger pastel painting. A few weeks ago I took a workshop on painting clouds, and this was one of the studies for that workshop. The earlier painting "After the Storm" posted a few days ago was another one. I really enjoy painting clouds, but seldom find a model with so much color. Painting this was an exciting experience!!! What makes it so striking is the contrast of values -- light against dark.

While trying to keep this blog updated, and doing a fair amount of traveling recently, I'm also working on completely revamping my website. If you click on it now, you'll see the current site. The new one is still a work in process as I said, and I'll publish it when it's completed. It will have a totally new look.

If you want to try some of our favorite recipes, please click on "Granny's Cookin'" on the right. As I find time, I add a recipe or two there. The most recent additions are for guacamole and spicy Mexican beans -- the way we like them. If you don't likes spicy food, you might enjoy the ideas on using leftover chicken, or the recipe for lasagna. Enjoy.
