德克萨斯州艺术家Denise La Rue Mahlke用蜡笔和木炭创作她敏感、大气的风景。她利用媒介的特点来创造柔软的边缘，经常有一种调性的感觉，特别是结合她的微妙的色彩感觉和经常克制的价值范围。我个人对她的许多作品的反应常常是一种沉思，仿佛是一个模糊的时间点—在你做事情的间隙，你有时会瞥见美。
Texas artist Denise La Rue Mahlke works in pastel and charcoal in creating her sensitive, atmospheric landscapes. She uses the character of her mediums to advantage to create soft-edged, textural compositions that often have a tonalist feel, particularly when combined with her subtle color sense and often restrained value ranges. My personal reaction to many of her pieces is frequently one of wistful contemplation, as if of a vaguely remembered point in time — the glimpse of beauty you sometimes have in the moments between the doing of things. The images on her website are not as large as one might hope, but there are somewhat larger ones on Insight Gallery (look for text link for “full-size image”), Chamberlain Fine Art, and accompanying an interview with Mahlke conducted by John Pototschnik. There is also an article on Mahlke from 2013 in Southwest Art. <
