Paula Kuehl | Lowden Gallery | Oct 1 – Nov 30
Paula Kuehl, of McHenry, has been painting since 1981. She started painting with oil paints, which were fun but slow to dry and would become muddy if you didn’t wait for them to dry.
When she discovered pastels, she switched to them and never returned to oils. Pastels better suit her personality – she loves to draw, and pastels are like drawing with color. She also loves the medium’s vibrancy and versatility – versatility in the ability to use different types of paper and how the pastel reacts on that paper. She feels her work is a study capturing the essence of life – whether it be in a child, a flower, or a landscape. Pastels are like life – vibrant and full of energy. That is what she attempts to capture in her works.
Viewing is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Wednesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
