Revenue stream goals for 2024: (1) The creation of 12 pastel still life’s. Below is one example of my work so far. The plan is to create and pick from the best when 12 or more are completed. (2) other revenue stream goals will be paintings in one or more of the following mediums: oil, watercolor or gouache. It’s been a while as my focus has been on Shibui Found Image Art. A pivot is a good thing as I write about Shibui. I am loving Paul Rembrandt pastels. The colors are amazing.

It’s been since 1994 that I have had fun with the pastels. I began Shibui 2011. A lot happened after that. I have my new home in my cottage studio and just now feel I am underway! A new easel awaits me! Varooooom! Or perhaps its “Let’s move it! Move it! Move it! More like that! I love claiming my Boho cottage studio!

Good Morning! Sunshine!

Today’s oil pastel painting on pastel board. A first for me using pastel board. Have it sketched in. This is a short distance off my deck. The sunlight was hitting this big rock. It looks pinkish here but what caught my eye was it had been a soft yellow. I took the shot just as clouds were taking the brightness off. I had wanted to capture the yellow light. This was before 7 am. You can see the back of the tree has some yellow. I will try to bring what I saw b back into the image.

This shot gives me the info about the light. Otherwise this rock is grey. I will take license and bring out rocks that are there, as well as add some, or position them. The concept is to bring the viewer into the painting, so he or she can “walk around”.

Good morning! May your day be a happy one! Full of love and warmth. Best wishes! Pejj
