In the meantime I have started another painting of a bridge over a river in Wales which so far is going well and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's probably going to take me several days to finish this one.
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've finished my coastal painting but because I drenched it in fixative it has buckled slightly in the middle. Not sure why, because the surface I used will take being scrubbed with water usually. However, this time it has suffered a little so it is presently laying flat with two heavy books and a potted plant on top of it in the hope that the buckling will straighten out. I'm going to leave it like that for a week or so and then take a look to see if anything has changed.
