Pamela Clarkson Artist

Hi everyone--welcome to my blog. I hope to use this site to display my artwork. I love to paint and draw. I will be showing some of my portraits that I do in pencil as well as my work with oils. I paint all kinds of subject matter--landscape, still life and portraiture. For me the subject is secondary to the color and shapes that form it. My goal is to create exciting colors and shapes that just happen to form a flower or a mountainside.
I came to Texas 15 years ago when my ex-husband retired from the Air Force. I have worked for Barry Framing Inc in Alamo Heights for 15 years and loved every minute of the framing business. I've had a wonderful time designing framing for all kinds of art. Also have met many fabulous local artists. One particularly wonderful artist-Susan Carlin-talked me into creating this blog! She will be opening a new gallery in La Villita soon and I will be showing my work there. Will write more about that later--once I figure out this blog thing. So we will see how this goes!
