Edie Hamblin Landscaping in Pastels

The creation of a painting that is satisfying to the eye is an exciting process. Practically everywhere I drive I see a painting possibility. Certain scenes resonate with me. I just have a sense that here is something I can get down on paper to enjoy at other times! I take snapshots and then back in my workplace I use the information as a basis for my painting. As I use the rich pigments of soft pastels I see images forming that say something about the view I enjoyed so much.
