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.
