ON THE COVER
“Setting”
Pastel on paper
By Wayne Brekke 2013
Photographed by David Ahlquist
After a long stretch of working with acrylic
and mixed media, pastel on paper was
a welcome change. “Setting” introduces a
dreamy sense of form and bold colors that
take the eye over the entire piece.
The blended lines, distinctive curves, and,
of course, the tasty subject matter made it
a pleasure to explore. Ink accents give it a
more rustic approach. I love food, wine and
cooking, so making art with these things in
mind is more than inspirational,
it’s appetizing. – Wayne Brekke
