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.

A Quiet Corner in New Orleans
Our gallery change this month has the theme of Midnight Hours and I chose this photo. I have never painted a night scene before, so this was really breaking new ground for me. This photo of the actual artwork doesn't really show it to it's best advantage, but I decided to post it here anyway.
