Goble hills oregon in the summer

I love pastels although would like to do some oils as well. Here is a pastel from the hills of Goble Oregon.

Red Barn in Warren Oregon

Red barn in Warren Oregon, Done in pastels.I loved the trees in this. I don't always find the trees I like but I liked these. There's a short window for these trees in the fall. One could rush around and do quick pictures or take millions of photos for reference. Or work 24 7 until the rain comes. Again I don't like being rushed so i don't get a lot done. I suppose I could do a  lot of little works and sketchy stuff. That can work to ones benefit if you can sell it. - Pastels.

Bybee park in the sun.

Here was an enjoyable day. it was warm and comfortable to just relax and sketch. In pastels.

Trojan Parrk trees,

Trojan Park, Oregon . I vacillate between oils and pastels now. Of course the weather is mostly rainy here so if you work from life you have to work really fast and since I don't like to be rushed I rarely get a lot of plein air work done. It seems the popular thing to do is work fast and enter shows until you drop. Of course the end is to make money. I can't do that. I want to enjoy what I do . On the other hand it's nice to get together with artist friends and have the money to purchase some of their pieces so money comes in handy. It's kind of what the US is about . I guess. Money. Still i don't like to be rushed.
