Pastel artist, Joyce Lister, remarks:
"I paint what interests me, what excites me, and hope that the paintings convey that excitement and strike a responsive note in the viewer. Since I was a child I have loved painting portraits, figures, and animals, trying to capture the personality and spirit of the subject. I find land and waterscapes more of a challenge, but am inspired often by the light, the composition, or the mood of a place, and I find it very gratifying when a painting is successful and conveys the spark that inspired me to paint it."
NEWS UPDATE:
Joyce's painting, "Tidal Marsh", was awarded Best in Show at the MPS 2011 "Shades of Pastel" National Juried Show.
Her artwork is now featured in:
"100 Artists of the Mid-Atlantic", by Ashley Rooney, Schiffer Publishing, available at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble
