'Good Olde Summertime' 11x14 pastel ©Karen Margulis sold I seem to be on a Recycle Roll. I was left with several pieces of Uart sanded paper covered with blue after my sky workshop. Instead of throwing them out (Never!) or adding them to my pile I decided to tackle them and turn them into useful underpaintings. Again the blue paper chose the subject. I had a perfect Queen Annes Lace reference photo for the larger paper. But this time instead of just wetting the blue pastel and toning the paper, I decided to add some texture. Texture would be perfect for a wild stand of weeds and grasses! left over demos on Uart paper Adding texture was easy to do. I took some clear gesso and a brush and applied it in random brushstrokes. The gesso liquified the pastel and I was able to move it around like thick paint! The Clear gesso dries.....Clear! And unlike regular gesso it has a light grittiness to it which adds tooth to the paper. If you haven't tried using clear gesso for making pastel surfaces add it to your list! Below is the resulting paper after applying the clear gesso. It took about an hour to dry. texture with pastel and clear gesso The results were satisfying! I was able to get a suggestion of grasses when I dragged the pastel over the nooks and crannies left by the gesso. The little bits of blue peeking through my pastel layers added an airy delicate feeling to the scene....perfect for flowers such as the Queen Anne's Lace! a close up view That was a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I'll be sharing the results from the other pieces of paper this week.

Artist CommentsA sculptural stack of four macarons in a light-filled space. The neutral setting brings the colorful cookies to life, give them a strong three-dimensional quality. Pat Doherty's delectable oil paintings draw on her experience as a former commercial art director and designer. She seeks out her subjects at bakeries farmers markets and then returns to her studio to simplify the details into bright, graphic arrangements. Pat takes time to balance the elements in her compositions and establish good color relationships between light and shadow.About the ArtistPat Doherty follows in the tradition of Bay Area artists who paint what they love. Her culinary series is a reflection of her surroundings; Pat is a third generation San Franciscan now living in Marin. The Bay Area is the perfect place to find the petit fours and decadent pastries featured in her work "Sweet Choices." Similar in subject matter to Wayne Theibaud's desserts, Pat’s unique style starts with a rich color palette and an angled picture plane to achieve depth. The subjects are often simple, but Pat takes the time to understand them and develop a mastery of light and shadow. The art has a certain humor and light-heartedness as well, especially with her series of dogs and bite-sized confections. Pat's style is inspired by her previous work in the graphic design industry, when she was the art director of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, art director of San Francisco magazine, and senior art director at a private design firm. Pat's work has been featured in American Art Collector magazine, several solo shows, including the Caffe Museo in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as well as many group shows, including frequent showings at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art.Words that describe this painting: cookies, macarons, cuisine, sweets, dessert, cookies, culinary, baking, kitchen, still life, Wayne Thiebaud, still life, cuisine, representational, oil painting, purple, pinkStacked MacaronsPat DohertyOil painting on woodNatural wood edgesVarnished and Ready to hangOne-of-a-kindSigned on front and back202024 in. h x 12 in. w x 1.5 in. d2 lbs. 6 oz.

It's not easy, but it's not impossible. I didn't use a microscope or nanotechnology; instead, I used a magnifying glass and a needle for painting. I made the aluminum frames myself, using jewelry tools, as there are no frames like these available for sale. This painting represents Brazil, the country where I live. I know there are smaller paintings, but this art is entirely handmade, without the use of nanotechnology. Espero que gostem, é um pequeno desafio.

When I was growing up a lot of folks out in the country had rabbits as farm house pets, cute and cuddly, and easy for us young folks to help take care of! This is an original bunny rabbit drawing in dry pastels (chalks) done in white, golds and many, many shades of lavender on light brown pastel paper. The drawing measures 5" x 7" and would be a charming addition to any nursery room decor. Pastel drawings may be framed as is, but often look even better with a mat. The mat serves as a good way to help raise the glass off of the artwork. This pastel has not been sprayed with a fixative.
