About This Artwork
Powerball, was inspired by an idea I had for trying out an old, but little known, pastel technique called “dusting.” Instead of making marks and strokes with pastels sticks I would crumble the pastel colors with my fingers and let the “dust” drop onto the surface of my paper. I would then smash the tiny particles into the paper with the use of a brayer to make the fine dust bond with my surface. I had been successfully using the technique for creating the illusion of snow and fog in my paintings, and now I wanted to create the feeling of light giving shape to simple circles and creating balls. You be the judge of my success.
Because pastels are fragile materials all my painting are placed behind glass in quality frames. The cost of the framing is already included in the painting price. If you prefer, I will sell the pastel unframed. For unframed paintings deduct 10% from the painting cost.
