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 recently bought DVD by an artist that I admire and after watching it several times I decided to try his technique which is more impressionistic than I normally do. This is the result....... it looks similar to the painting that he demonstrated but I actually got the reference image from the Wet Canvas web site and made a few adjustments to make it more pleasing to my eye. I was happy with the result and plan to frame it and give it as a gift this Christmas.
