Pastel Landscape - Lesley Dickman

Dickmanlesley01 May, 2021Art

Lesley Dickman creates beautiful pastel landscapes that convey emotions and depict the true beauty of nature. From observing rolling seas, old quarries, railways, straw hills, and early Australian townships and their surrounding landscape, I find a constant reservoir of colour, movement, shapes, and images that nourishes the spirit and give me food for thought and material for innovative ideas and a fresh approach. The discovery of pastels has been a connecting thread for working spontaneously and boldly with colour, so with the combination of time-tested techniques and a vibrant palette, I try to create works that express the spirit and inner essence of the landscape.
