I am adding some new pastels to my website , this is one of them.
I am really having fun with this medium and it is a welcome break from
the oils, and after a time I will get back to some oil paintings that are waiting
to be finished. The pastels are easier to use in plien aire for me, less stuff to
take and much easier to take back home...but will still try doing more
oil plien aire paintings.

I am adding a new collection to my website, pastels and plein aire. 
The wonderful thing about being an artist is we can do whatever we feel
at the moment, and so this moment is about stretching my wings.  I have done pastels in the past
but had let that take a back seat to oils, maybe its time to revisit the challenge of
painting with pastels.  Also I think I will do more plein aire paintings...so here goes.   Let me know what you think, as I always like feedback.

Both must be transformed to produce a work of art".
