In the coffee table sketchbook with Micron and Zig pens while watching a pastel class. It’s about 8 x 10 inches.

My website https://jocastilloart.comAugust 13, 2021 at 9:38 am #1427878Great work on the cactus, Jo! It looks sharp and spiny, just as it should. Great work!
Kay, your painting has a beautiful, timeless sense of Americana to it. I love the richness of your colors. Well done!
