Ready For Picking 6" X 8" Pastel on Wallis

                                                                                  

Oh, it is soooo good to be back in my blog world. I missed you all, and I hope you're still with me as a fellow blogger! Thank you for the kind words and support you offered for the past couple of months. I'm so happy to let you know that my husband is doing well. He's going on morning walks and continuing daily exercises the physical therapists set in motion. He still is quite stiff and sore from the break, but we know he'll be better as time goes on.

My art making has been minimal these past weeks, but I'm looking to remedy that. I started with a familiar and comfortable subject...a pear!! It felt good to be "dusty" again,  and smudge that pastel over the surface. I did manage to do quite a bit of research on various artists whose work I admire and worked with some new materials I had ordered. Thank goodness for online shopping!! I even bought an excellent DVD on abstract art by Mark Mehaffey. I'll be sharing with you over the next few weeks some of the things I've learned and found and will try to get up to date on all of your art efforts over the past weeks. Can't wait!!!
