Today I have been working on a piece that I started last week. It's a river scene from a photo taken during a visit to England. I may get it finished tomorrow and post it here then.
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

This weekend I didn't get any painting done, but we did drive down to Plymouth to go to the gallery opening of the artist that I have taken a couple of weekend workshops with. It was a bit of a rush because we were already committed to driving some friends to Manchester airport which is 20 miles in the other direction. However, we managed it and were glad that we did. Her art is wonderful and I think the gallery opening was quite successful.
