Last night I had a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate for the Orange Art Association. I was particularly nervous. Once I got started it was like being in my studio. Great group of artist looked and with great support.
I demonstrated my under painting process and pastel application. Every time I do something like this I have to think out my process. I realize there is no formula and every painting speaks its own language. Embracing my fear and using it to give the piece energy is a better path...And fun.

Bea!utiful Dori, what a treat for the OAA
Ahhh...having seen with my very eyes how your pastel paintings transpire...it is a treat to take in. I am sure the group was delighted with you!
Wow, wish I was there for the demo! This is so alive with strokes and colors!
This painting has so many wonderfully unexpected colors that work really well together. I wish I could have seen this one come together in person. I bet you did a great job demonstrating too, sorry I missed it. This is truly a beautiful painting!
It's GREAT! They were smart to ask you to demo, too. I'm guessing this won't be the last time you demo for a group! Super!
Great job! Love your use of purple and the loose chunky shapes of the leaves.
