The summer has been busy with shows! I am happy to say that I am now being represented by a new gallery in Kennebunk called The Hive. What a great addition to the revitalization of down town Kennebunk. These are the three pastels showing in the gallery.
Possibly the first spring painting I've completed so far this season(stopped painting when I got bronchitis and didn't get back to painting since the snow!). A path off the Bridal path that was saturated in sunlight. This is along the marsh behind my house.
Pastel 12x16 I have started working on my winter references finally, and I may occassionally go back to the fall photos. Thanks to a friend's photo from her morning run at Parson's Beach before all the real big storms started! I can't even think of braving this weather like some of the plein air painters; kudos to you all!
Brilliant Afternoon Shadows 12x18 pastel Finally I got some finishing touches and photographed this painting. It's funny, as an artist I should know color but.....It takes me forever to figure out what looks good when editing the photo.
I am a Pastel Artist in Kennebunk Maine. I paint landscapes from my own experiences and travels. I also do pet portraits and home portraits. My interest in preservation of the beauty around us is what drives me to paint what I see and love. If you would like information about commissioning me to do a painting you may email me at cheryl@dahngallery.com. You can see my work on my website at www.cheryldahn.com and local art shows in Maine.
