I was very excited and honored to have received a notification today from the International Association of Pastel Societies that my painting, "At the Diner", has been accepted in the 27th IAPS Juried Exhibition - The 2015 Web Show.
When Harry and I were in Albuquerque, NM, for the IAPS convention in 2013, I sought out the Standard Diner for lunch. I had seen a segment about the diner on Guy Fiere's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". We sat by the window, and I loved the direction of the light. I moved a few things around, until I was able to photograph the still life set up.
Notice the reflection of the condiments in the knife and fork. One of my favorite objects to paint is a frosted beverage glass, preferably with ice.
