Super article! Thanks for sharing your motivations and unique gifts. Love your descriptions and paintings of capturing the spring light coming thought tiny new leaves. Slightly green myself, of your memorization abilities…but still thoroughly inspired! Greetings from Alaska where our spring has only just this past week sprung! (mid May)

It really does make my fingers itch to take up pastels in the many beautiful vistas around the Lower Mainland. I have always loved working in pastel, and just don’t do it enough. Thank you so much for making this beauty available to see, Gail and Christine, and for the inspiration!

As a studio and plein air artists I am always fascinated to hear other artists experiences and thoughts on the subject. What I most took away from your post was letting go of the expectation that my plein air work will never be as detailed and “polished” as my studio efforts. Ahhh, what a relief! And, of course they shouldn’t be. But, the looseness and spontaneity of my plein air work is something I’ve been trying to achieve since the first day I picked up a pastel stick! But, I never realized it until I read your post! Both works has its own merit and I will let go of my ‘overworking’ my plein air work and instead, remind myself of my ‘real’ goal . . which is to capture the light, atmosphere and SOUL OF PLACE! Thank you, thank you Christine and Gail! Loved it!!
