North Wind Blizzard. Live Painting.


Studio Early Winter. 2022. Pastel. 14" x 8.6". Casey Klahn.


My little studio is anything but "all weather". It leaks air like a creaky baffle. But, the best direction for wind and snow to attack, from my point of view as a survivor, is from the north. 

This pastel was done by opening the door and huddling in the doorway, and watching the storm.

Modernist Pastel


 Sketching and Smoking. 2023. Pastel. 12.25" x 8.5". Casey Klahn. 10-20 minute pose on Zoom.


I'm re-visiting some images to draw. Sometimes a pastel will become a drawing, and vice versa. While re-drawing this "from life" pastel, I realized I overlooked how much I like this one. It has Modernist chops.
