"Blue Hound Farm" by Tatiana Myers.

"Blue Hound Farm" by Tatiana Myers

10 x 8 ", U-art 320, Pastels.

 I'm testing new experimental grade samples of sanded U-art paper .

U-art papers are known to come in 800, 600, 500 and 400 grades. However now group of pastel artists including myself had an opportunity to try some new grades. I abused this peace as much as I can (purposely, of course). Started from some very heavy wash and finished with putting on it almost all the brands of pastels I have and also did some pencil works. Paper taking multiply layers and performs really well. I'm very much looking forward to start torchering of another sample when I'll have a time for it.

"Abby at Nags Head" pastel by Dianne Lorden

Pastel, 12" x 16"

I've often used my daughter as a subject - especially when I'm practicing, poor thing! But this is my favorite painting of her. I made it three summers ago, when I was still pretty new to pastels, from a photo I'd taken during one of the quiet moments of her childhood.

Winter's Warriors by Amy Lindenberger

I feel a little "out of the loop", today, since with out-of-town guests over the holidays this is the first chance I've had to post anything in a few weeks. (I have at least had a little time to look at what my fellow PA artist have been posting and have really enjoyed the posts!) This is the first of several pieces I've done depicting portions of some of the monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield in winter. The tones in the granite statue reminded me a great deal of the tones in the surrounding winter landscape: various values of greys and brown. Working on these pieces gave me a new appreciation of the statues -- many are really unbelievably intricate in their detail.

This colored pencil drawing on Canson Mi-Teintes paper is available for purchase, and is also featured on one of my "Scenes of Gettysburg" notecards. You can view all of my Civil War-themed work online at my primary website, www.CivilWarFineArt.com, and information about the other types of artwork I pursue, workshops I teach, etc. at www.AmyLindenberger.com.
