You will be delighted with the number of paintings, variety of artists and techniques you will see in the show. The Austin Pastel Society was formed in 1998 with a membership of around 100 artists. The exhibit of pastel paintings by members of the Austin Pastel Society will be on exhibit from November 2, 2007, through January 4, 2008.
We delivered the paintings below to the Walkers' Gallery in the San Marcos Activity Center to be in the Austin Pastel Society Exhibit until January.

You see I finished the pastel painting of the Chile Store. This is an in-studio painting or traveling studio painting. I started it in Las Cruces and finished it here in Bastrop. It is difficult for me to have lag time in between the start and finish of a painting. As I am working on it there is a mood and intent toward the completion. If it sits without working on it, I lose interest or momentum. I just can't get back to the original feel. Many people work on a painting and leave it for a long time and then work on it again. I am not good at that. I can let it simmer for a short time to see if I am really done, and decide if it needs corrections, but leaving it for a couple of weeks like this painting just isn't my way to paint. I like to start and finish while I have the idea fresh in my mind. I like the result on this, but I think it would have been better without the two week lag time. The painting was created from a couple of photos of a chile stand in New Mexico. The woman in the photo is from a completely different set of photos.
