A person tries to move away from a crowd, but is delayed by two people near them. Behind, four figures trail slowly, approaching the scene. In the foreground someone watches it all unfold. The sky is red, and the landscape bare aside from a couple utility poles. The piece is made with oil pastels on paper. Art by Jason Thomas Pitzl.

Trying to do some long overdue admin tasks in the studio today, so only time to share some morning #sketchbook work. Thanks to everyone who’s been following this ongoing document of my work, I’ll see you tomorrow!

Two people convene in the foreground, one advising the other. Meanwhile; four figures race to the ocean. They are all the same red as the sky. The piece is made with oil pastels on paper. Art by Jason Thomas Pitzl.

On a bare field, a number of figures dance, or perhaps they are challenging one another, or perhaps both. In the foreground another figure rebuffs their invitations and walks by, removed from the instincts that drive them. The piece is made with oil pastels on paper. Art by Jason Thomas Pitzl.

Two people stand entwined with one another. Two more people watch from the foreground, while a final person in the background looks on in dismay. Mountains and lush greenery act as a backdrop to the scene. The piece is made with oil pastels on paper. Art by Jason Thomas Pitzl.

Thanks! I keep telling myself I’m gonna take a few day to properly store and catalog my recent output, but it seems my habit to just put stuff into little piles persists.

A number of works on paper hang on a metal wire stretched across a garage door. In front of that, several completed paintings are stacked. On the floor, more pastel works on paper lay, waiting to be sorted. All art by Jason Thomas Pitzl. For descriptions of individual works, please see previous entries in this account’s feed.

Mostly did some studio maintenance today, going through some recent works on paper, etc. That said, I did get a little more done on my current WIP oil painting- which is coming along nicely.
