Exploring Saint Lucia Plein Air Pastel Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism Artist


Exploring Saint Lucia
Plein air pochade - Pastel on Mulberry Hand Laid Paper
11 x 14 inches

This pochade was done on a beach in Saint Lucia, one of the Windward Islands, Eastern Caribbean.  These studies are quickly done to become familiar with my surroundings.
  I like to use rough mulberry or banana paper which has texture that adds to the environment on the beach. This will be used in a series of my plein air explorations of islands recorded in journals.
 These are going into a current book under  construction now.
