Pastels by Beverly Saunders

My work in pastels are a constant study in color, texture, and the relationships of light and atmosphere.

By capturing time and space in landscapes and still life, I create a sense of peace and serenity. In today’s fast-paced world, these qualities are hard to come by.

My landscape images are inspired by photographs of places that are special to me. I, in turn, wish to share that with the viewer.

The still life images are just that...still life. There is certain peaceful quietness in still life that engages the artist as well the viewer...a time to step out of the now and into a place which clears the mind and renews the spirit.

My animal portraits intend to give the viewer an insight into that particular animal’s character as well as an accurate portrayal of the subject. The use of pastel as the medium brings a charming paint quality to the portraits.
