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

The Sky's the Limit
The last class I took was teaching how to paint skies. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get a photograph myself....it seemed that every time I had my camera with me the skies were either cloudy or bright blue with no clouds .....so I used a photograph that I had come across recently and was excited about. I very much enjoyed the process of painting this and am pleased with the result.
