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

I did manage to get the Washington State picture framed and am very happy with the way it looks. Very grand in it's gold frame. I am going to Florida for a week tomorrow so today has been a bit hectic and this blog will most likely be silent for the next week. Maybe I'll come back with photographs that will give me inspiration for my next picture. Not sure I want to do the orchid I spoke of in an earlier post.
