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 is a painting I've spent the last few days on. When I first started on it, I was convinced that I wasn't going to be able to do it, but as I got more and more into the work it all started to come together and I'm quite pleased with the result. I think I may enter this one in a juried art show later this year.
