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

Today we decided to drive down to Plymouth, Ma to visit the art gallery of Anne Heywood a pastel artist from Maine, but unfortunately when we got there it was closed. Anne is a very good pastelist and I've taken two weekend workshops with her which taught me a lot. I also spent some time today sorting through my paintings that I have yet to photograph and put on this blog. I hope to do that soon but it's easier to photograph them outdoors on a sunny day, and the weather isn't co-operating yet.
