Wow Freddy! Is this in pastels too? If you are a member to the Virtual Instructor please Submit it for a critique. Best to submit on a Sunday. Really excellently done. How long have you been working with pastels? Teri (Artsy) ---

Hi Teri, yes, pastels and pastel pencil, thanks for the comment, funny story, back in high school in the mid 70’s I started working with pastels and was taught by my aunt and also some classes in high school then around 1980 I gave it up until about a year and a half ago when a friend said to me “maybe you should take it up again”, well, I did and thats where I am today
