A collection of works by gifted lakeside artist Judy Miller will be featured in a one-woman show at the Ajijic Museo de Arte opening Saturday, March 1, 3 to 6 p.m. and continuing through March 14.
Judy shares the following reflections on her medium of choice, pastel painting:
“It is quite an amazing journey going from a fresh piece of pastel paper to a finished painting. It can be challenging, uncomfortable and very stressful until it becomes gratifying, joyous and astonishing.
“Pastel is such a luscious medium. The sticks are so rich with pigment and the sanded paper can hold so many layers that it sometimes feels like I’m sculpting. I love holding the stick and as it glazes against the sanded surface, it feels like the color is coming directly from my fingers, without the intrusion of a brush. Pastel is also the longest lasting of all media as it doesn’t yellow or change over time.
