I am a pastel painter. I chose this medium because of its immediacy and lightness. Pastel allows you freedom to build a richness of color in a single sitting that I did not find in any other kind of painting. It is the purest pigment in a soft medium that can still give you hard edges while maintaining its beautiful fluidity of expression.

Comb Over
"Comb Over"
(8" x 8")
Another offering to my rooster series. I was really taken with the brown/purple coloring in his feathers and his absolute refusal to look at me. He had this "Yes, I am beautiful" attitude.
Thank you Azra. I loved that song and you are quite right. He was definitely as vain as Carly says. (I also knew several gentlemen with this issue...'course "knew" being the operative word.) :)
This rooster is magnificent Jill!! I know a guy with that atitude and the song by Carly Simon springs to mind. : )
