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've spent a lot of time at my easel over the last couple of days and my Rushing Stream picture is now finished. This was very challenging for me...running water is very difficult to capture (for me at least). I'll be looking for a somewhat easier subject for my next project. My husband has put his stamp of approval on this one and thinks I should frame it. I don't frame all of my work but I think I will do this time as I put so much blood sweat and tears into it.
