                Here are two I did for the WDE.

                “Napping” 4 x 6 done with watercolor pencils.
                “Mission” 4 x 6 watercolor and ink.

                    Nice work, Joan, especially the mission, which looks very Californian.

                    Here’s another of Louise Pitre.

                        Joan, both of your WDE paintings are so beautiful and so accurate. I love your watercolors.

                        Lawrence, your ten little heads sketches rock. You’re really going with this sketching thing and it’s fantastic. This is the best Louise Pitre painting you’ve done so far, it’s magnificent.

                        Today the sun came out! I posted this for critique in the Tree Studies thread in Soft Pastels Talk forum and Scotty Arthur made some wonderful suggestions. So today I dared to make changes in what I thought was a finished pastel painting — I like the improvements.

                        In order to do it I had to lay out more than just the Richesons set. I knew I’d need softer pastels to go over it because I had fixative on the painting, so I also set out my Sennelier half sticks, Art Spectrum pure tones and Mount Vision chromatic set. This disturbed my poor cat, who got bumped to the foot of the bed to make room for pastel boxes!

                                        Judi, Like your farm scene and did not know I could use pastels over WC. What I love about this site. Everything I can learn from others.
                                        Alain, Love your landscape. Very pretty and love the soft colors in it.
                                        Robert, What a set of pastels. I think I have 10. Like your addition to your painting also. Very pretty.
                                        Humphery, The portrait is beautiful. Like how you are sketching also. I am trying to do more of that also.
                                        Joan, Yours are great. Saw them on WDE also. Good work.
                                        I wanted to do a little invitation card so used pastels and pencil and came up with this.
                                        It actually came out looking better when I put it on the card stock and printed it, so will use it.

                                        Have a good day, Mary
                                        C & C welcome and would be so appreciated.

                                                        I traveled up to Maine for Christmas and did a few little paintings while traveling and while I was up there. We usually take the ferry from Orient Point, NY to New London, CT, so I make sure I bring my supplies to sketch on the ferry.
