Only got a little painting done today, just the sky - because there have been tree men here most of the day taking down two trees. But after they had gone I went out to the local second-hand store looking for picture frames. Nothing took my eye, but I did go back to the local arts and crafts store and pick up a frame I had seen there on clearance. Even better....when I got to the checkout, she took an additional 50% off the already reduced price. I brought it home, sprayed it gold and now it looks awesome. I just have to produce a painting now that will do it justice.
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
