pastel colors for carol . . .

I threw around some pastels . . .
just to have some fun . . .
a pastel ballerina -
when I was done!

This is pastel on heavy cardboard.  I wanted to just 'draw and paint' without trying to 'fix' anything.  This was a 'warmup'.  As the weather warms up and summer is in the air (we don't really get Spring in Texas do we?) I am starting to look forward to painting with oils again. As a matter of fact I have just completed a painting that I will post when it is dry.  I really enjoyed my winter of drawing.  I couldn't draw faces before but now you won't run from the room screaming - every time!
