Lisa,
I'm late to this thread, but am I glad I found it. I was blown away by your pastel. It is sensitive, refined and gorgeous. The face is wonderfully done and I love the sparkle in her eyes. The sari is great. Don't you just love to work in a really brilliant, saturated color? For me it is deliciously decadent and I try to do it every chance I can.

Richard,
I'm glad you found the thread because your comment was really sweet! Well, I must admit that saturated color is new to me in my painting. Heck, it barely exists in my life so I will have to do more of it and let you know if I like it or not. We have this joke in my family that everything ends up being "Ober Beige." LOL. No color gusto in our genes I guess. I am making small advances toward correcting that. This pastel was my first effort in that direction. Thanks so much for the compliments and the confidence to try more colorful things.

Lisa, I have been out of town on vacation for a while and opened this up and guess what I said....WOW!  Aren't you so impressed with yourself? Now that you are painting from good resource material you have simply turned into a pastel goddess! It is just BEAUTIFUL. I think I need to take a trip up to visit you and watch you do one of these.

Mary, I was wondering where you have been! Haven't seen you in a while. Hope you had a nice trip.
Thank you for the compliment! Impressed with myself? Nah, but I think I do see some improvement which is the great hope. You are so right about good source material. It makes a huge difference and I have really learned from Mike.
I know there is nothing I can teach you but any time you want to come visit would be great. Just warn me so I can clean the house. It seems I paint so much lately that the whole place is falling apart before my eyes.
Again, thanks, Mary. Glad you are back!
