A drawing from this week and a poem from two years ago. I keep coming back to these glowing weirdos. 👁️💛 I made lots of drawings of aspens last fall that I never got round to sharing… Now that it’s foliage season again (and I’m once again up in Summerhaven, catching the aspen glow), I figured their time has come. Something new! I designed a couple of T-shirts, which you can buy at the link in my bio. First five people get free shipping! Another weekend, another art market! 7951 N Oracle Rd, Oro Valley. Tomorrow (Oct 17), 10-5 and Sunday (Oct 18), 10-3. A wonderful morning drawing with @sonoranpleinairpainters today! As much as I love Sabino Canyon, it feels so nice to shake things up and go to a site I hadn’t seen before. On the drive out, I was struck by a sense of vastness and multitude of saguaros and rock formations, and wondered if that was something I could depict abstractly, through an assortment of shimmering colors. I like this direction, and I think there may be more to be found here. The drawing also really benefitted from a time constraint - the push-pull of the initial concept (use lots of small color patches to depict vastness) and the time crunch (which forced me to simplify and put down some more uniform areas) really made it come alive for me. Mostly set up for tomorrow! 9-5 at Patagonia Town Park (and 10-4 on Sunday). Come swing by booth 45! You can see my art at the Patagonia Fall Festival this weekend! Saturday 9-5, Sunday 10-4, Patagonia Town Park, booth 45. 399 McKeown Ave, Patagonia, AZ 85624. Pictured is "Today, Only Beauty" - my pastel drawing which won first prize in the advanced pastel category at Tombstone Gallery's annual show last year. It's been up on my bedroom wall for most of the last year, and I finally decided it's time to find a new home for it - so it's all ready for the festival in an easier-to-transport frame. "Saguaro Aura." This started as an exercise with a new set of pastels: I was challenging myself to use as many colors as possible. Eventually, the colors stopped feeling arbitrary and I started feeling like I was capturing something true. I felt freedom and certainty when I decided to put a bright red near the top of the cactus. Seconds later, a cardinal perched in that very spot. You can see my art at Sahuarita Oktoberfest tomorrow at 5-8:30 PM! The second photo is a detail of my pastel "Home of the Purple Martin." Original and giclée prints available.
