Pastel drawing on red earth Canson Mi-Tientes pastel paper
6 ½" x 10"; matted & framed: 12 ½" x 16"
This piece was drawn from a photograph while I was on Martha’s Vineyard, after taking a one-day pastel workshop at Featherstone Gallery (Oak Bluffs MA). This was my first serious attempt at using this dry medium. The piece won 2nd place in the professional drawing category at the 2007 Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Fair and Show (West Tisbury, MA), although I have no idea where that ribbon is.
