Just got back from the IAPS Convention (International Association of Pastel Societies) in Albuquerque, New Mexico - what a great time.  Met several people that I previously only knew from being on-line on Wet Canvas.  We had a get-together in one of the member's rooms which was really good.  They are all very nice and friendly.  I took in a couple of demonstrations by well-known pastel artists and picked up a lot of useful information, now I just have to put it into practice!

I also bought so much stuff at the Trade Show that we had to buy another suitcase to carry everything home.  My pastel collection is growing by leaps and bounds!  I have spent all morning organizing my supplies in my studio.  I took loads of photos of New Mexico so I'm hoping that I have captured one or two pictures that will be worthy of painting.
