Are you curious about the pastel technique of drawing and painting? Interested in exploring what's behind the creation of a painting that captures the emotions?  Gallery artist, Barbara Noonan, will share her personal insights with a soft pastel painting demonstration and talk about what makes a painting work.

Barbara has been practicing her art for over twenty years, and brings influences from the Pacific Northwest where she lives on an island north of Seattle.  Every winter she spends a few months in our area, walking the beach on St. George Island for miles daily in every kind of weather: birdwatching, exploring the shifting colors and angles of light, watching the fog roll in.

Although she has worked in oils, watercolor and gouache, Barbara prefers soft pastel for the immediacy of the pigment and its saturation potential.  In her pastel paintings, she seeks to push the boundaries between abstract and interpretive landscape painting.

Barbara is represented by several galleries in and around the Seattle area, as well as in a number of public and private collections on the west coast.  She enjoys sharing ideas with students and is sought out for her private classes and workshops.  Learn more about Barbara at her website: Barbara Noonan Fine Art.

Join us on Tuesday, January 25 at 10 a.m. for an enlightening hour shared with fellow artists and art lovers. Morning refreshments will be served. The demo is free and open to the public, but for planning purposes, please let us know if you plan to attend.
