Hmmm...to blog, or not to blog...that is the question at hand. Is it better to journal privately or in public for all the world to see? I don't know. I'm a fairly private person. I don't usually like to draw much attention to myself. But I will admit, finding blogs and website information on the use of soft pastels has been SO valuable during the past six months that I've decided to try it. Get out of my comfort zone. Maybe someday what I share about my journey to find "the artist within" will be of value to someone else. I hope so anyway.
The first 6-7 months of 2014 were a steep learning curve filled with practice pieces and a few worth sharing. This first one is near and dear to my heart. We lost Scooter in April and it took until June before I felt I could attempt painting him. I'm very fond of this little piece.
A Warm Spot By The Window
5x7, soft pastel
These are a few of my first pieces of 2014...so much to learn but I'm having fun!
