I’ve been on a roll with pastels recently. I’ll be sending twenty or more small works to M.A. Doran Gallery in Tulsa for my upcoming show. I’m heading to the gallery for the reception on Thursday, February 9. Join us for the festivities.
We’ll be livin’ on Tulsa time. For a couple of days anyway!

I finished 2022 with a flurry of small pastels. Twenty two small pastels in fact! These little dabs of intense color are earmarked for my upcoming show at M.A. Doran Gallery. More about that as we get closer to the opening in early February.
As is often the case when I work small, I’m itching to see them bigger. Stay tuned.

A couple of weeks ago, before we plunged into deep freeze temperatures, I posted a picture of an exquisitely sublime view of an early morning scene. The subtle blues, greens, and violets of that landscape must have rambled around in my subconscious. Because this recently finished work bears a distinct resemblance to those exact colors. I think the painting possesses a decidedly quiet feel.
I can’t always put my finger on where my inspiration comes from, but in this case I know exactly.
By the way, the cold spell has broken and we’re back up in the thirties after a week of nearly 30 below! Coldest temps since 1989 we’re told.
Let's keep in touch,
Marshall
