Rick Petersen's painting pour aujourd'hui: June 2015
http://rickpetersenspaintingaday.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. Pastel on UArt, 12x12. I did this painting to express the sense of stillness and calm that surrounds the slow moving stream as it enters the salt marsh. On the banks of the stream at the edge of the deep oak forest, the palm trees grow tall and straight. It is as if these palms guard the entrance to the higher ground, and in the heat of the day, they appear to stand all that much taller. To purchase painting, visit my Daily Paintworks.

Rick Petersen's painting pour aujourd'hui: Marsh Expectation
http://rickpetersenspaintingaday.blogspot.com/2015/08/marsh-expectation.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. This painting represents a challenge to take a portion of a photograph - in this case a very small portion - and to emphasize the design elements and simplify the palette. No bright greens were used in this painting with the expectation. That other colors and values would suggest the marsh grass in this vista. This painting was executed in the Lyn Asselta workshop, and she's the one who took all the bright green out of my box! Thanks for raising my expectations.

Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Evening Walk, Study. Pastel on UArt 240 - 6x9. The last light of the day paints the sky with gold and lavender which is reflected in the wet sand and broken waves. The beach is nearly deserted in the evening after the tourists and families with children have gone. As the light falls and the temperature drops, this is the perfect time to come out for a stroll on the beach. To purchase, click on the DPW Link. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, March 27, 2015. Pastel on Wallis, 6x6. In the early morning, the slanting light of the sun hidden by passing clouds makes surf seem to surge even more that usual. I have sought to capture the colors and the movement in the surf. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Pastel on Wallis, 6x9. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Debra Mickelson / Sand Creek Ventures.

http://rickpetersenspaintingaday.blogspot.com/2015/08/lyn-asselta-workshop.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Lyn Asselta Workshop, Making the Most of Photographic Reference Material. I spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in a Lyn Asselta workshop with six other members of the First Coat Pastel Society. The subject and emphasis of this was turning our reference photos into better paintings. Here are the results. I want to thank Lyn Asselta for her patience and unrelenting push to make us better in what we love to do. The rest of the day was devoted to creating a larger version of the study.
