Day is Done

Day is Done ... on Pearl Buck's Farm

5" x5" pastel

While visiting my brother in Bucks County PA I had the opportunity to take

a workshop from Richard McKinley (pastelists will appropriately sigh...) which

was held on the grounds of what used to be farmland owned and operated by

writer Pearl S. Buck.  (And no, the county name has no relation to her

family or notarity).

Anyway, it was a lovely experience in everyway possible and on the very last day, exhausted

and over-stimulated, we all sorta crashed on the lawn and tried to look like

we were busy on one last piece.  The sun was going down, the wine was chilling and

we were too tired...but the colors called and artists respond.

This was the view from my lawn chair...and I will admit that it has gone

thru several 'iterations' until I was finally satisfied.

But it is definitely a "place" and a time I recall fondly.

I have matted this in the usual 12 x 9 white mat but decided that with so much juicy color

it needed something a little more funky than a black frame.

Voila!  With the magic of spray paint I happily put this in a blue frame.

I think Pearl would approve, don't you?

I really wanted to share the blue frame but for some reason (because I dropped it?) the

camera would not focus...so squint and pretend you can see this...just

to enjoy the rush of pretty blue.

Enjoy your "day is done" time.
