D. F. Gray.... Pastels from life


Dan Gray’s pastels are impressions of the moment.
Born in Vancouver B.C., he has worked in soft pastel since 1975.
Always painting from live models...
always ‘en plein air’ when painting the landscape


'the Gray Cup'

DF Gray

The first place trophy at the Steveston Grand Prix of Art this year has been rededicated as the 'Gray Cup' after D. F. Gray, the inagural winner from 2010, for his dedication to plein air painting in British Columbia. The trophy is given to the winner of the plein air event modelled after the Grand Prix d' Art held in Qualicum Beach, to hold for a year, then the winner's name goes on the trophy which will be up for grabs the next year.

Pastel

Technically, pastel is powdered pigment, rolled into round or square sticks and contained by methyicellulose, a non-greasy binder. When protected by frame and glass, pastel is the most permanent of all media, for it never cracks, darkens or yellows. Today, pastel has the same stature of oil and watercolor as a major fine art medium. Many of our most renowned living artists have distinguished themselves in pastel, enriching the art world with this beautiful medium.
