Day moon 2 by Jala Pfaff

The other day I spotted my friend the day moon again...

Good news arrived today: I have been accepted into the Boulder Open Studios tour for October of this year. It's the first time I've applied for it and it should be interesting (if tiring). If you're in the area, it would be great to meet you and have you stop in. More detailed info as the date approaches.

Untitled 49 by Jala Pfaff

This is as dark as possible without any black. It's a variety of very very dark blues and grays. You probably can't see much variation on the computer screen, but there is some.

Tenth Street spring by Jala Pfaff

The trees on our street are looking so amazing...all the little leaves coming unfurled. Everything's so colorful and miraculous after the tough winter we had. Yes, I know, it happens every year, Spring...yet it really does feel like a miracle.

This mini (4" x 4") painting reflects some of that color: the acid greeney-yellows of willows, and the dark peach of new maples.

Sky study 11 by Jala Pfaff

I don't consider these sky studies to be realism, nor wholly abstract. One thing that's extremely interesting to me is that, without any visible terra firma reference at all (e.g., no painted or drawn tree tops, horizon line, mountain ridge, etc.), and in spite of them in tangible reality existing merely as smudges and marks of color, people see them as skies and clouds. Why? I'm fascinated by how our brain interprets things to fulfill its own agenda.

A mini. If you're old enough to remember "film strips" in grade school, well, this is kind of a little cloud strip.

Jaipur 7 by Jala Pfaff

The evolution of abstract imagery fascinates me--how one can get visually from "reality" all the way through different phases of semi-abstract, and finally into pure abstraction. This one started like the previous "Jaipur palace wall" paintings, but it wanted to...keep going.
