Brenda Boylan and “Dusty Fingers”

Brenda Boylan is one of the best pastel artists that I have seen. A couple of mornings ago, Sara and I sat drinking our coffee and just going through her blog, Dusty Fingers, looking at each of the pieces and marveling at their beauty.

We especially loved looking at the posts where she showed several images of the work as it progressed. One of her latest posts, Cafe’ Seating 8.5″ x 13″, takes you through the progress of painting a scene from a cafe in Portland. Her use of the blue and orange under-coating was brilliant and helped create a work that was full of vibrant energy and color.

Here is her “Bathing Yellow Irises”, an 18″ x 24″ painting that was selected as one of the most popular on EBSQ. I can see why because this one really grabbed me, also.

Beautiful work, Chris. I went to Brenda’s site and commented already, and I am happy to make her acquaintance. I also love the shots of the undercoating she shows for many finished pieces. Her colors are truly remarkable. Thanks for showing this work.
