Almost Daily Paintings: What's new?
http://andreashish.blogspot.com/2008/11/whats-new.html
Monday, November 17, 2008. Since time has been of the essence lately, I've been experimenting with a new medium (for me), pastels. I love the immediacy of pastels, their pure pigment, and the layering options they afford. Stay tuned for more. Excellent paintings. I hope to see some of them in my future coffee house. Keep painting sister, we love your work. Len. March 12, 2009 at 10:31 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hello- My name is. Boise, Idaho, United States. View my complete profile. Http:/ ...

Almost Daily Paintings: Three Graces--5" x 7" pastel on paper
http://andreashish.blogspot.com/2008/12/three-graces-5-x-7-pastel-on-paper.html
Saturday, December 6, 2008. Three Graces- 5" x 7" pastel on paper. I have painted this in oils as well but prefer this version because I really like the mottled affect of the dry pigment and the way I am able to layer color without muddying it. Is muddying a real word? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If you hear a voice within you saying 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint. and that voice will be silenced."
