- Description
- A pastel drawing of a large lake with gray rocks in the foreground, as well as a few areas of green tufts of grass. Where the lake ends, there are trees which are reflected back into the lake. In the background are mountains that seem to be vanishing into the mist. Allan Stephenson; The Loch; pastel; 27x40; 1993 Allan Stephenson is an artist who draws his inspiration from the natural landscape particularly that of his native British Isles and also that of the Pacific Northwest where he now makes his home. *I am always looking for and attempting to communicate with the viewer that special sense of place that infuses some areas of the natural world with meaning, wonder and beauty. I hope my work can provide some escape from the sometimes frenetic world we all live in. I am a traditionalist. I don't see the art I produce as breaking any kind of new ground but rather I apply myself to existing forms and attempt to inject perhaps fresh content. I am currently enjoying the medium of pastel for it's direct hands-on quality that allows me to blend and sculpt the pigment using my fingers and hands rather than the intermediary of a brush.* (excerpt from artist's exhibition list) The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
