Karen Neal

Hi again Sally, this is beautiful, love it :)
Checked out your website, only problem is I wanted to see more, more haha ;-)
Out of interest, do you fix/spray your pastels??

7 months

Sally Ford

Hi Karen! I sometimes fix in between and keep going but always give it a good spray with fixative at the end too. I always give the pic a good bang on the back of the drawing board when I'm finished to get off any loose particles. Had so much trouble with dust falling on to mats inside glass before I started doing this. Seeya! Sally
P.S. Thanks for the compliment!

Charleen Morris

Absolutely stunning Sally. I have tosay -everyday, I look up to the sky to see what colours it brings to me, and what pictures the clouds want to paint for me, this reminds of those little moments in my day, cos every now and then the colours can be so remarkable as you have created here. Well Done!

7 months

Sally Ford

Thanks very much Charleen! Yes, looking up at the sky always gives me inspiration too. It's wonderful all these things we can pick up from nature and sometimes they are the simplest. Life is so full of complications, it's nice to "sit back and smell the roses" sometimes! Hey, maybe I'll paint a rose next! Hmmmm......

Sally Wedlock

Beautiful, love your clouds and the colours you've used, is htere any make of pastel you prefer to use and do you use fixative?
S.x

6 months

Sally Ford

Hi Sally! Thank you and glad you like my work! i use any soft pastel that seems to work well. Currently, I am using "ART SPECTRUM". I do fix my pastels, usually at the end but first give them a really good bang on the back to shake off loose powder. I try not to use too much fixative though as it can sometimes dull the pigment. Hope this answers your question. Cheers!

6 months

Sally Wedlock

Thanks, always face the dilemna when I've finshed a pastel piece over whether to fix, find it can really dull and alter the whole colours of a piece,but dont want to loose too much pastel or smudge as well, will try a little amount as you've suggested,
S.x

Unfortunately I did not sell anything, better luck next time. I did have some interest in my Sophia and the others and someone took one of my business cards. I'm glad you sold yours. Maybe I should pop down to Oz I may have better luck! ;D

Never mind. I always say that- "better luck next time". Funny, but sometimes when your work has been in a show and not sold, it sells a bit later. Happens to me quite often. You never know what people will like and when.

Geez Sally, you sure paint a nice sunset. Minimalist in approach, with the solitary, bare tree. All the action is in that gorgeous sky. Very convincing transitions from the deep blue and ornages of the clouds to the light blue and golden clouds, bringing us right to he horizon and the shard of light that is the setting sun. LOVE IT!

Artist Statement
for Sally Ford

Australia

I have always loved to draw and paint for as long as I remember. Particularly, I have a memory of fingerpainting in kinder and how I loved to feel the paint between my fingers and of course, they were always masterpieces!
My art has taken many forms over the years, from rock painting to illustrating and signwriting. I have more time on my hands now that my kids have grown older and am so loving getting back to my art.
I am a member of The Victorian Pastel Society, Surf Coast Arts Inc, and the Anglesea Art House all in Victoria, Australia.
I am essentially self-taught and have never really had any sort of formal training. I create art as I see it and by what inspires me.
I am lucky enough to be exhibiting at Skipton Art Gallery in Victoria and have my own gallery artspace at Cafe Zoo in Drysdale also in Victoria.
I regularly exhibit in regional art shows and am pleased to say, with some success.
You can google me as Sally Ford Artist and I have a personal link or google Anglesea Art House as I am listed in their artist profiles.
I hope you enjoy my artwork. Keep on creating!
