Have Pastels, Will Travel
Posted by anne
Plein air
artist Reif Erikson has traveled the world to paint a variety of masterful pastel landscapes. On his
website
, you'll find a
world map
where you, too, can "travel" the globe to link to galleries of his artwork. Jump from California to Hawaii, then to England and China, and on, to see the results of his
plein air
experiences.
In the new
October issue
of
The Pastel Journal
, we introduced a new column, "Painting Spot," in which pastel painters share a favorite
plein air
location and corresponding painting. For this issue, I invited Erikson to write about his recent painting excursion to
Canyon de Chelley
in northern Arizona, where he travelled into the canyon on horseback to experience the beauty and mystery of a place once home to an ancient Anasazi community. You'll see his piece,
Sensuous Desert
, in the article, but he produced a number of inspired pastels on the trip, such as
Anasazi Spiritland
(top; pastel, 9x12) and
Clouds Dancing
(pastel, 9x12).

Erickson's work is lovely.
I will be looking forward to the new column.
Thanks,
