Artistic Concepts by Carolyn

Daily blog of art in progress by Carolyn Needleman with personal comments by the artist. I primarily work in oil, because I enjoy the rich texture and buttery feel of the oil as I paint. You can manipulate oil to create color excitement, drama, mood and texture in a painting. There is a pleasure in creating a work of art from first draft to finished project that excites me and fills my fundamental need to create.

Back in the Studio!

May 7, 2008

I've returned home and have gotten settled in from my long trip to San Francisco. Everything has gone well and I am back in the studio.

Preliminary work for a new pastel still life has been blocked out and drawn on Caisson pale blue paper. It is a large piece, 18" x 24" depicting various summer and autumn vegetables. A pumpkin, green and red peppers, a luxurious green leafy cabbage, a gourd and a parsnip. The green leafy cabbage takes center stage.

I like the layout of this piece so very much that I think that I will repeat it on canvas and oil paint. I will work on both pieces, one one day and the other the next day.

There are many additional ideas that are swimming around in my head for other projects this summer. I had better start taking notes so I don't loose ideas.

Well, back to the studio.

May your day be productive and filled with joy.

Carolyn
