The Expression of Pastel Paintings
January 21st, 2008
Some in the world believe in expressing themselves through poetry, music, story writing, athletics, and art. My Uncle George falls into that last category constantly drawing and doodling on anything and everything in sight, be it a napkin or a on his own hands. But, as of late he has really taken on a seriousness to his obsession with expressing himself, and started studying great art. Imagine my surprise to learn that pastel paintings and the artists that paint them rank among the prepremieretists of history and our time, even Leonardo da Vinci. Favored by many because of the mediums broad range of bright colors, my Uncle George’s paintings have taken on a greater depth and scope. I understand him better now because of it.
