On Sunday we went on a harbor boat ride from Newburyport and I took several pictures while we were out, so today I have been working on a painting from one of those phtographs. It's just about finished now, so I'll be posting it tomorrow.
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

It rained all day today and my car was in the shop for repairs so I was confined to the house, which gave me the perfect excuse to spend pretty much all day in my studio. I tweaked my Winter in the Park picture a bit, by lowering the height of the snow on the far bank so that it wasn't in line with the top of the bridge. It looks better now.
