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

My latest work
I have not been too active on my blog of late, but I have been painting from time to time, and here are the most recent pictures I have been working on this week. The top one I call "Standing Firm" and the other is "Golden Fields" Both are pastels on sanded pastel papers. Our art society is looking for some pictures to hang in the local bank and I have been asked if I could supply a couple.....maybe these will find their way there.

Bluebirds
It's been a while since I posted anything on this blog, but I have done two or three lately, and I will get round to posting them one of these days. This one is obviously of bluebirds on top of a nest box, but although we do have them nesting here in a box on our property, I didn't actually take this photograph. It's 11 x 14 Pastel on La Carte card.
