| Mid Summer Storm |

| Pastel 8" x 10" |
My pastel
painting entitled "Mid Summer Storm" was choosen by The Pastel Journal as the winner of the August 2008 Creative
Spark contest.
During one winter here in Missoula, Montana, I looked out my
window day after day to see a white fog hovering over the ground covered with snow. Even the bare tree branches had thick
layers of hoarfrost. After days of this dreary gray and white scene, I decided to pull out those neglected colors that
pile up and get shoved aside. I went to work harmonizing bright colors with the sky and valley below as my subject matter.
In the spring, my skyscapes were well received and seemed to lift everyone's spirit. The intense color combinations
affected the viewer's emotions and energy level. Additional images can be viewed on my website: http://janetsullivan.net
