            Wow! I have the feeling I’ve seen this fellow in some old western movies. Outstanding, Ken!

                This is gorgeous, Ken! It has a tonalist appeal for me and I enjoy the subtle color transitions that sculpt this form. The one spot of bright blue in the background adds a nice little pop!

                        Thanks Karen! They are standbys for that- a little sagebrush, a rock, and there you go! It has really great forms-

                            Thanks so much Donna! I’ve always enjoyed form, and so this is a nice change from recent material. My rather long spell with Oils was broken up by a Portrait Workshop, and in the Demo, I realized again how fast and how much fun Pastels can be. I’ll have to jump back and forth a bit more.

                                                Thank you Ron! I preferred the warm light and darks- it has such interesting forms.
