One of my recent excursions into pastels
Chalk pastel on cartridge paper
A pastel sunrise on a bitterly cold February morning had frost clinging to the reeds along this Central Washington lake as a cold mist arose with the sun.

/ My ‘First Tree’ is officially published in the coffee table book Artists of the West / For information on purchasing a signed copy of the book, go to Carrie Glenn Studios Thanks! First Tree was Featured in Lifestyles Magazine as part of an article about the Artists of the West coffee table book I am also honored to announce my painting First Tree was a part of the Rialto Towers two week art exhibit in Melbourne, Australia in of July 2007 Acrylic and pastel on illustration paper. (1995) This is truly the first tree I ever painted, the need to paint and create was something brewing so strongly inside I had to do something about it. Yet my resources were very limited, I grabbed the only paint I had any access to, a can of my father’s black spray paint, I sprayed it into the lid of the can and used the only paintbrush I owned a cheep nylon brush from a water color kit and created. I then finished my work with the only two pastels I owned brown and black. / Necessity is the mother of invention, or maybe it’s that there is more than one way to skin a cat. (Sorry cat lovers) At any rate I grew up in a home with very few luxuries but I did have a passion to create, always, I had to feed the creativity. So this is a very special piece to me and I hope to you as well. Down through the dark trees, you came and saved me...

These beautiful pear trees bloomed in our backyard every spring when we lived on the little farm near Monroe, Wisconsin. Rendered in pastels, they turned out to be a perfect subject! This painting was awarded a “State Exhibit Award” on February 16, 2008, in the Wisconsin Regional Artists Association Program, which means it is eligible for the state competition in Fall 2008. Of all my recent artwork, this is the one of which I am most proud!

Pastel on Colourfix Sanded Paper (Burgundy) – 70cm x 50cm This is another in the series of paintings I did along Hughes Creek at Tarcombe, Victoria, Australia. This is such a beautiful and isolated area! ‘Good Morning Billy Hill’ is the name of the hill in the far distance. I had an energetic climb to my vantage point at around 7.00 a.m. on the most glorious, warm, clear morning. There was a slight mist around. It was a ‘great to be alive’ day!

Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper (burgundy) – 70cm x 50cm There is a radio program in Australia called ‘Macca on a Sunday Morning’, which explores all aspects of this country. There is a segment in it called ‘Why I live where I live’, and it got me thinking about where I live. I did this painting as part of a solo exhibition (‘My Easel and Eye’) which was held in 2005 and this was the first painting that was sold. Yesterday morning was a glorious autumn morning, and I went for my early morning walk. This same area of the bush looked exactly like this painting!

Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper (burgundy). Autumn in Australia is a beautiful season! The intense heat has diminished from the sun and beautiful days are followed by cool nights. Our weather over Easter has been exactly as depicted in this painting. I painted this last year and sold it at an art show soon afterwards. Trawool is an extremely scenic area only a few kilometres from my home.

Pastel on Canson Paper – 50cm x 25cm Another one that I’ve dragged from the archives! I let the warmth of the coloured paper do most of the work for me! I hoped to provoke a feeling of nostalgia in this commission, where a view of the property was required, together with the farmer (not a “young” man himself) and his very old, and much loved, dog!
Pastel on Colourfix paper (burgundy) 70cm x 50cm This is a view from Ennis Road, Tallarook – halfway up the Tallarook Range – looking towards Broadford. I have been working on this for several days and finished it today (29/11/09). This is at that magic time of day that I really love, just before the sun goes down, when the Australian Landscape gets a golden glow about it. Featured in Landscape Painting – Dec 2009

Pastel on Colourfix paper (burgundy) 50cm x 35cm / (165 views) This is a familiar sight in my area at this time of year. The smell of freshly mown hay is in the air and beautiful rolls of hay are to be seen everywhere, ready for storage as summer stockfeed. I completed this painting last weekend (29/11/09) and was pleased with the way it turned out. I kept to a limited palette of colours, concentrating on the yellow/purple complementaries.
