Beautiful pastel painting. Wish you Merry Christmas and more creations for the next year!
Hey Jeannette~! Merry Christmas to you. This is a lovely work of pastel - it has so much detail! I hate working with pastels...it is so messy! Enjoy your holiday :)
Phivos,
"Thank you! Hope your Christmas has been pleasant:) Am writing this from my daughter's house where it's much colder -around 45 degrees F. instead of 60 deg,F where I live.
Sreddy,
Thank you! Hope you are able to do all kinds of stuff during your break that you otherwise can't do!
Yeah it's true, pastels are messy, but once you have had kids, one doesn't care about it anymore! I'm better in details with pastel than in oil.
Oils can be messy too - I always get it on my clothes:)
Jeannette: Wonderful photo and a neat painting.
Fishing Guy,
Thank you -this one was a fun painting -and I love elephants! You probably have seen work from Jose Hernandez, since he was shown on Joan's blog?
