About Daryl V. Storrs Pastels
My images are a reflection of the world around
me. Pulling natural elements from the landscape, I reconfigure them to
create a collage of landforms and texture which will become a vehicle for
color.
Most pieces are first sketched on location by drawing the most dominant
elements of the landscape. I freely delete and pull anything which I see
in the 360 degrees surrounding my stance. I refer to the landscape before
me less often as the picture gains a life of its own. Later in the studio
I add additional layers of color to create more depth within the pastel. I
will sometimes work from photos, although, once I have the basic elements
from the photograph, I put it away and let the pastel speak to me.
Vermont is the landscape that I usually paint, and I focus on locations
close to my home where I return again and again. A blueberry farm, a
hilltop dairy farm, and The Mt. Philo Inn overlooking the Adirondacks and
Lake Champlain are all places where I relax, draw and reflect without too
much distraction.
The pastels that I use are chalk, usually Rembrant, Windsor Newton,
Unison, and Schmincke. I mostly use Le Cartes paper. My framing
materials are rag and archival. The glass I use is non-reflective and
blocks out 90% of the ultraviolet rays. I do all of my own work from start
to finish.
My intent is to celebrate the landscape and to interpret it in a way which
may enhance the viewer's perception of our visual surroundings.
