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.

Anchored
This is what I have been working on for the past few days. I got the photo from the reference image library on Wet Canvas but I loved the somewhat threatening sky while the cliff and the boat were still in sunlight. 12 x 16 on La Carte paper.
