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 painted for a couple of hours today and this time I'm trying to inject more color into my work. My last picture was critiqued as having too many mid tones, and I have to say that I agree with this assessment. It looks flat and uninteresting. I'm liking what I have done so far on the current project, we'll see how the finished article looks!
