Thanks Martha, Claire, and Padmaja. I'm getting into these barns. It was late afternoon when I took the picture so I had a wonderful shadow on the road.
I am visiting your blog for the first time. You do beautiful work in pastel. The weathered barn has wonderful shadows and color. These old structures always catch my eye when I see them, I wonder what their history was. Well done.
Thank you for that nice compliment, Sue. When I'm on the road its so hard not to stop to see those old barns...if they can only talk! Thanks for visiting my blog.
Thank you Liana for visiting and your nice comment. Yes, I think that the oldness of the building is what I enjoy painting..I see so many colors on one board alone.
My name is Hilda Muxo Klinger. My passion for art came early.I have always said that I was born with a pencil in one hand and a box of crayons in the other.I am a Bronx born New Yorker who can remember sitting at the kitchen table copying faces that appeared in the newspapers and magazines as a girl.
I am married 53 years and have two daughters and five amazing grandchildren.While I worked and raised my family in East Rockaway, I used art as a form of relaxation, painting here and there. I dabbled with several artistic mediums through the years—everything from pencil to charcoal to oil and it was only after I joined The Parish Social Ministry Art Club in East Rockaway in 2006 that I realized my true passion of pastels.
I studied under Dan Slapo and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a class more than I did with him. He taught me many different techniques in painting a portrait. Working with a live model was so different for me and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to work with this Master of Pastels...He encouraged me to join the Pastel Society and I am now an Associate Member . I am thrilled to say that I have displayed my paintings in Rockville Center Village Art Club and have received several ribbons for my work. Thank you for visiting my blog. I will continue to add my painting in the future and hope you enjoy them as I have enjoyed painting them.
DANG!!!! When did you do this one? I've gotta get around to your side of the studio more often. It is super!
