    So I posted this on the other Elevator Pitch thread but not many there so here goes:

    I depict the spiritual essence of life in various modes from ancient tradition to contemporary using either gouache, acrylic or mixed media. I pull the heart out of the ordinary and make them extraordinary.

      Thank you Wanda. However as I said it out loud it didn’t roll off the tongue too easily or maybe I just need to memorise it like Crista says.

    Hi – like Anahata – I seem to have posted on the other thread!  – so here is my second attempt!

    My work celebrates the colour of life and the beauty that can be found there. I create detailed portraiture and imaginative pastels – they are very different, but both embrace the light and colour of life.

      Great words — if you want to shorten it —  you could use

      My work celebrates the colour of life and the beauty that can be found there through detailed portraiture and imaginative pastels.

      Thank you Wanda – Yes – I can see what you are saying. I posted an alternative just at the same time as you sent in your comment. I’m finding it quite difficult to marry my 2 diverse styles – but its really helping me think about my aims and their similarities!  B x

      or maybe this one –

      I paint intricate portraits that hold a gentle beauty and imaginative pastels that burst with colour and hope. I would say that beauty and hope are my goals.

      Beverley,

      I think you could use the 1st sentence on its own.  I like the change you made – its a stronger statement/pitch and marries your 2 styles.

      Thanks – I have been thinking this through a lot and picked this one for now!  Something about it feels v true to me but I am not sure if this comes across?

      I believe in the healing power of art – I paint portraits and imaginative pastels to bring more beauty and hope into the world.
