I’ve been working on this large (for me!) floral pastel painting for about a week now and I THINK it is finally finished. I really wanted to capture the feeling of bright sunlight hitting the flowers against the cool shade of the building.I’m hoping to have this piece placed in one of my galleries by the summer season. (Unless, of course, it sells right off the blog or website!)

I just purchased a new set of Sennelier colors and I am like a kid in a candy shop. Unfortunately the mounds of pastels are starting to take over my studio. But not to worry. I truly believe the saying: “whoever dies with the most pastels wins!”

    This is wonderful, Jill – beautiful shadows and it seems like there’s a breeze too. I love the blues! And I’m jealous of your new Senneliers…

    Thanks Regina. I’m really happy with this piece. And the good thing about feeling that way is that it makes you excited to start the next piece!
