Turquoise blue challenge

Spending the day with a group of wonderful artists from the Pastel Painters of Maine and the Pastel painters of New Hampshire , we all gathered in Nashua at a members house and had a challenge with the color turquoise blue , the still life was well arranged for all of us to do. Thank you Carolyn for your graciousness, our lunch was wonderful!
Between all of us , we had hundreds of colors sprayed out , it's funny how pastel painters never have enough colors , it's like an addiction! we actually love to look at them sometimes for months before we actually used them , we always know the newest sets available , we rater get a set of pastel than jewelry from our loved ones . Because I use all medium I know this never happens with oil painters or watercolorists . Our boxes weight a ton because we are so afraid to be with out them, sounds familiar pastel painters?
I did two paintings today , this one was for my daily ,the other was larger with flowers .

Grapes on quilt I wanted to try some new canvas panel from Raymar real linen, so I set up a bowl of fruit on my quilt that I have in a kitchen , I have a series of fruits on a similar setting , the linen was nice ,I would recommend these panels .
I won't be posting for a few days , have to help my boys with a deck project .
so here is an oil on linen 6x8 nice size for a grouping .

Fresh strawberries

In our way home last night , a farmer in town had his strawberries for sale on a table ,the honor system ! what a wonderful way to buy fresh fruit from that day. Before I washed them I knew , I wanted to paint them with my favorite old French towel , it just reminds me of home when I grew up, all kitchen towels looked like that , blue or red.

Fresh strawberries

Went to an interesting meeting this morning with the Pastel Society of NH , met lots of new talented artist . Had lunch with my friend Sue at an Irish pub, came home to finish my daily painting. I don't know how I was able, because my dog just about drove me crazy, with the nice weather and everyone walking by, he wanted to go out on the deck every five minutes, up down loose my brushes, phone ringing etc...he is a nice dog but a bit spoiled, only 18 months old . I wanted to take the photo outside before dark ,because I don't like to use the flash. Anyway here are the results ,and a glass of wine! enjoy
