New Pastel Work by Judith Reidy

It has been exciting to be working in pastel again.  Such delicacy and fresh unfading color.  

 One of the qualities I appreciate about pastel is that the color never fades or yellows with age.  These images came from trips into the country this fall.

Now I enjoyed painting my neighbors front yard in the morning light, which cast a shadow on the front of the building. I laid in my design quickly and the shadow pattern and stuck to it. I love the way the tree catches the sunlight.

In doing this scene I had this idea of a dark pathway enveloped by walls and shrubbery leading into light. I did this in preparation for the Paint the Festival submission at the Cedarburg Plein Air Event. It was a great place to paint in the shade with a gentle cooling breeze, away from the hustle and bustle.
