I just took delivery yesterday of some new pastels that I ordered. They came really quick, I ordered the on the 12th July and they arrived on the 15th. These are Mount Visions and I love them. Of course getting 50 new pastels then meant that I had to spend an hour rearranging my pastel box which John made for me a couple of weeks ago. As you can see the box allows me to have all my colors set out according to value (by value I mean light to dark...not cost) and color regardless of brand, so that I can see at a glance what I have. It's much more convenient than having them all in different boxes.

I have started another picture. I'm going back to trying my hand at flowers again and so far it's coming along quite nicely. I'm enjoying it.
