Art at Tilton – Landscapes of Deerfield by Karen Savage

The intense and vibrant color pastels create along with texture like soft velvet is very exciting to me.  I love the adventure of trying something new. Capturing light is one of the challenges that creates excitement for me.  I try to paint the light, focusing on the dramatic results of the pattern of shade and sun.  The intense and vibrant color pastels create is very satisfying for me. - Karen Savage
