Pastel Reflections
This was an experiment with dimension and perspective. I don't find them as much fun to make, but they are a challenge and I love to push myself in new directions. :)
charcoal- Birds in Flight
I am working on creating movement and when I convert these to pastels I will use light and shadows to help achieve this. Every creation is a new experience and presents new challenges.

Charcoal Reflections
This would refer to inner reflections of course as I notice that this sketch appears to be slanted. This is interesting to me as I have an injured ankle and therefore walk "slanted". :/

simple sketches
I have been doing a lot of simple sketches- trying to improve on dimension and perspective. The beach always has a lot to offer although the wind sometimes gets in the way! One of these photos is a bit shady but my dog wore me out and I am too tired to re-shoot it. Five beach books have been completed so I am ready to get back to my work with pastels. Yesterday when I was walking my dog I experienced a "snowstorm" of white and fuzzy seedlings from a tree nearby. It was completely surreal but of course I was without my camera! :) It was still thrilling to experience the magic! :)
