Washington County Open Studios Tour

48 Harley Talkington

Media: pastel paintings, puzzles and prints

Artist’s Statement: Each of my paintings is my way of “paying attention” and honoring a place, object or “critter” of beauty that I was privileged to see. Occasionally my imagination will improvise, as well. Whether painting “plein air” (outside), or working from my photo back in the studio, I respond to what moved me. My goal is to take you there emotionally and imaginatively. Primarily using pastels, I am also constantly exploring new methods and materials, striving to let each composition dictate the truest way to capture its goodness, truth and beauty.
