My friend Karen Weber does hand-painted silk designs for clothing and household use, as well as pure art for wall hangings. I always enjoy her flowing and colorful work. It is interesting to watch her create.

I did this piece using soft pastels instead of acrylic paints. I’m looking for a medium that is easier to take outside than acrylics. I have always enjoyed pastels and was interested to see if what I have learned from painting would improve the quality of my pastel work as well. I definitely felt some crossover.

Original painting. Pastel on paper, 8 x 10 inches. Completed 12-20-2007.
