I really love these new pastels we recently sent to M.A. Doran Gallery in Tulsa. There is something about the direct and simple approach to art making with pastel that seems to facilitate a very intuitive style of painting for me. Pure pigment and a piece of rough toothy paper are the only materials needed. I get a lot of compositional and color decisions made very quickly with pastel.

Join us from 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, February 7 for the opening of a show of my newest work in both oil and pastel. On Saturday the 9th at 1 p.m. I’ll be demonstrating in – you might have guessed it – pastel! Hope to see you at M.A. Doran, 3509 South Peoria, Tulsa. Please call 918 748-8700 to let us know you’re attending as space is limited. Hope to see you there.
Keep in touch,
Marshall
