Paintpartyfriday!

Pastel Nastursiums
I love pastel ! I do a painting with the pastels and then go back and add color and details by using water and a brush. I shave the pastels I want to use with an exacto knife into a small palette . Then I dip a brush into water and mixed the "powder" to add more colors. It gives it a nice painterly look.

7"x 9" pastel in 17"x 21" frame

Her daughter Chris was in my class of 62 high school boarding Catholic boarding school. One year she came up to teach us some dance routines for broadway tunes show. She was so darn cute and she knew her moves!!!
