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.

Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see your new work. I hope that the person at the Bank who is choosing the pictures for the Bank has a good taste in art and that they select your paintings. I will keep my fingers crossed
