In reply to Michele Poirier Mozzone. Interesting how these types of deadline and gauntlet throwdown challenges are just what we need to get going!!! So relieved and happy you took this one on!

In reply to Mathy.

Hi Mathy,
Thank you for the question. Oil painting was the medium I kept meaning to delve into but I hadn’t given it the time it takes to improve and find my voice. Last year a gallery that shows my work offered me a three-person show this past May and asked for oils. It was just the challenge I needed to get serious and immerse myself (pardon the pun) in developing oil paintings that fit within this series. Now I enjoy hopping back and forth between the two mediums.
Thank you for the kind comments and question!

Barbara,

That’s the first time anyone has used “balanced and bold” to describe my work – what a great compliment! Thanks, I’m glad to hear the blog inspired you to go bolder with your own work.

Best,

Michele

In reply to Mathy. Mathy glad you enjoyed the blog and found it encouraging. Thanks too for your question. I'll leave Michele to answer and expand our knowledge of her work and process in oils.

In reply to Jymme.

It’s funny you mentioned the Pastel Journal Jymme. I was about to approach Michele to do a guest blog just as the issue featuring her work came out. I realized I would need to wait as I didn’t want to compete or waterdown her exposure through this favourite magazine of all pastellists (well, english-speaking ones at least). And so, after a long wait, this makes Michele’s presence on HowToPastel doubly sweet!
And like you, I’ve enjoyed seeing the evolution of Michele’s work on this theme.

Yay Barbara, I love hearing how seeing Michele’s paintings and how she works have inspired your own process. And you are so right in your description of Michele’s work – balanced and bold!
