In March 2008 I made the suprising discovery that I had a little artistic talent which had been lying dormant all my life. I started with simple still life subjects but as time went on I progressed to more complex subjects. The only medium I paint in is pastels which I love. They do tend to be messy but I love the immediacy of the work, involving no mixing with turps or water, just pure pigment directly applied and mixed right there on the paper. Carol Conrad

Bell Tower Ruin
May 2008
A bell tower in the village of Baux in the South of France.
So this is the high spot of my artistic career so far. After working in pastels for just three short months I entered this picture in the town art show and won second prize. It encouraged me to persevere with my new hobby.
