On Friday October 3rd I was fortunate to receive a 2nd place ribbon in the Pastel category at the Fall Awards Show at the Art Guild here. The title of the painting is "Quiet Corner" and measures 11" x 14".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
