painting...one of her specialties. Soon into the visit she described her discovery of the effect of light on pastel works, and promptly provided us with a demonstration with one of her most famous works, "Saugatuck Sunset". After placing the work on the easel, she slowly turned down the lights and demonstrated how the sun began to glow brighter as the light in the room grew dimmer. It was awesome!

If you ever venture to Saugatuck, make sure to stop in at Pat's gallery, located at 450 Culver Street. She has a beautiful array of pastel and watercolor works. You can also visit Pat's web site at http://www.patsartstudio.com. Her best works are available as prints and can be ordered by phone. Ordering information is supplied on the website.
