Today’s painting on wet/dry sandpaper, 1,000 grit.
I like playing with soft pastels.
Doesn’t matter really if I never get any good at it, I am doing it for myself. I don’t care if I sell them, don’t care if I ever get recognition for my work, just want to keep playing with these beautiful sticks of color because it is so much fun. Started playing with pastels a decade ago after becoming disabled with Multiple Sclerosis and Transverse Myelitis. It lifted my spirits and got me up out of bed. I hope my blog might encourage others to try their hand at soft pastel art. Especially other people like me who struggle with the blues and need some joy in their life.
The painting is calling to me, to come read a book...or write...underneath the lovely tree.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Sometimes I like painting on sandpaper because I know it will only go into the trash afterwards. Prevents me from being too nervous to create.
