President’s Message
Dear PSSC,
Happy Spring!
What a high-energy reception we had for our 9th Annual PSSC
Members’ Exhibition! It was super exciting to see the large
crowds and media attention for our 144 pastel paintings on
display and to celebrate our accomplishments together. It
was also gratifying to see Tony Allain’s amazing demonstration
of three pastel paintings, and then to have them auctioned
off on the spot to benefit PSSC and our exhibition charity, the
Switzer Learning Center of Torrance.
Congratulations to everyone who exhibited their work, and to our many award-
winners! You can see their pictures in this newsletter. Again, thank you to our juror
Liz Haywood-Sullivan, and to our generous judge, demonstrator and workshop

May Demonstration by Mike Ishikawa
Mike Ishikawa is an Architect by profession.
During his vacations, or any time he had
some free time, he sketched with his pen and
ink, filling many sketch books with interesting
places he visited with his wife Miki,
becoming a postcard of his travels. Semi-
retirement allowed some time to think about
a new interest, which led to pastel painting in
early 2009. He loves using pastels, the vibrant colors are unlimited,
being a skier, hiker, and fisherman, painting the outdoor landscape
has been one of his passions.
He uses bold bright colors, strong strokes, shades, shadows, and
varied textures to create an image that is similar to the actual image,
but with more interest and a “painterly” (non-photographic) quality to
the painting. He paints as a hobby and his favorite subjects are
seascapes around the south bay, old fishing boats, Sierra Nevada
mountains, deserts and night images of buildings. He is a member
of the Southern California Pastel Society and Pacific Art Guild of
Palos Verdes.
