I've had to be strong and forcibly stow my soft pastels. I have several printmaking projects that I dearly wish to get to but find I've been distracted by the quickness and immediacy of playing with pastels. Two pieces from this week...top: 'Truchas Adobe with Tin Roof', soft pastel on Wallis paper, 9.5"x7.5"
bottom: 'Cactus Shadows', soft pastel on Wallis paper, 7"x5"
For sale here.
~~~~~~~~He tenido que ser fuerte y forzarme a guardar mis pasteles suaves. Hay varios proyectos de grabado que anhelo empezar pero me encuentro destraida por la rapidez y lo inmediato de jugar con pasteles. Dos piezas de esta semana...
arriba: 'Adobe de Truchas con Techo de Hojalata', pastel suave en papel Wallis, 24cmx19cm
abajo: 'Sombras de Cacto', pastel suave en papel Wallis, 18cmx13cm.

Wow, Diane, those are gorgeous. Pastel is so rich and captures the deep color of the southwest so well. Beautiful!
Thanks, Annie... I find there is a lot of transfer of design from the way I work with pastels and monochromatic printmaking. The cactus pastel started out as a color study for a multi-plate relief... Maybe I'll do it one of these days!
Diane,
Really liked your cactus pastel.

Thank you very much, Marilynn...
