For our 25th wedding anniversary my husband and I spent two weeks in Hawaii and I took the photograph from which I painted this picture at that time. I don't remember the name of this particular waterfall, there are so many of them, and one tends to blend in with another after a while. On close examination you will notice a rainbow at the base of the waterfall. Hawaii is such a beautiful State I would like to go again one day.
This painting is a pastel measuring 8.5 inches x 14 inches.
This has since been donated as a raffle prize and sold.
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

Poppies
I recently entered this one into the Westford Regional Art Event and it won 1st place in the Pastels class. It was a great show, and the standard of art work was impressive. I was thrilled to be selected as a winner. 11" x 14" (It also appears a little lower on this blog, but that was before it won!)
