If I feel a little burnt out from doing woodcuts, I recharge my batteries by doing some pastels, so I can revel in some glorious color! I will add more images when I get them in an up-loadable format. That said, I have images that I know will only work in this format, so I don't consider these just "extra" work. In fact, I plan to do a lot more- I love to do them. I also want to reclaim pastels from world of Renoir-looking "pastelly", overly nice landscapes. Pastels can rock like any other medium! I'm taken it back!
