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

Now that Halloween and Thanksgiving are over I guess it's time to take down the Pumpkin picture. Tried to photograph this in it's frame at first but the glass reflections were just too much, so in the end I had to unframe? it, photograph it, then reframe it again. A bit of a chore but the resulting photo is much better. Went to the frame store and had them cut me a piece of picture glass this morning in order to frame my Washington state picture in the frame which I recently gilded. Maybe get round to that this afternoon.
