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

My new lamp has arrived and I think it will be great, I may combine it with a regular incandescent spotlight that I used when I did embroidery many years ago. I have a number of pieces of art that I have yet to photograph, so now that I have the daylight lamp I'll probably get round to doing that and post them here. I spent a good deal of time today looking through all my old photographs trying to find a subject matter for my next picture. In the end I decided to do a picture of some orchids that I had while we lived in Florida.
