I love to paint what I observe in the world around me and I love to paint with pastels. To be able to give outward expression to the beauty I see is a gift I hope to share with those who view my work. I am delighted that pastel is enjoying a renaissance. It is the oldest, most durable medium, and I am excited by its versatility. Pastel can be used with much spontaneity, or with attention to precise detail. The colors offered in pastel appeal to my love of the amazing colors I see in nature, from the brilliant sky and water colors to the nuance of hues seen in the tiniest vein of a leaf. The directness of the medium enables me to put down on paper what I see, with an immediacy that allows my creativity to flow. I love the process. It is glorious! Painting has sustained me during many periods of uncertainty in my own life, and as troubling events swirl around us all, I continue to find peace and comfort by being with my creative process. It is my hope that all of us may seek inspiration in the Arts. Anne Gable Allaire, 2013 |
