Pastel Still Life

I painted this still life in pastel tonight at Deb Richardson's class at Jerry's Artarama. I use mostly Rembrandt soft pastels and this was done on Canson white pastel paper. Pretty satisfied with it, Looks a little duller here in the photograph than it does in person. Deb spent this afternoon being the featured "Artist In the Window" at Jerry's doing a wonderful black and white charcoal bust portrait of a young cowboy in a weathered hat with a bandana around his neck...she will enter it into an art competition. Deb also brought her commissioned  oil portrait of a boy stepping down the steps of a train...FANTASTIC! Her composition was well done and the train didn't overshadow the boy even though there was some exquisite detail on the train. 
BY THE WAY  -  IF YOU CLICK ON ANY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ART IN MY BLOG, YOU WILL HAVE A LARGER VIEW OF THE PICTURE, SHOWS MORE DETAIL.
