Paintings Inspired by Meredith Kuntzsch

 

     

A few months ago at the Alexandria Festival of the Arts I was inspired by the pastel paintings of Meredith Kuntzsch. She describes her landscapes as dreamscapes. She uses dry pastels, also called hard pastels. Mine are similar enough to Kuntzch's that I would never sell them, because I'd be infringing on her idea, even though I used a different process to create mine.

Here's how I did mine: 1) Painted a watercolor under-painting. 2) Added oil pastels, also called soft pastels, to all but the top left one.
