Pastel on Wallis, 6x6
I was inspired by these two red pairs. The natural light from my studio window added a touch of magic. I worked with contrasting colors and secondary reflections in the color and foreground.

Fresh Tangerines
Pastel on gray Canson Mi-Tientes
I was delighted with the color and form of these tangerines I cut from the neighbor's tree just before the prediction of frost. The background is a playful contrast to the orange of the tangerines. I did this work to take another look at Canson Mi-Tientes paper using semi-hard pastels. I cheated with a few touches of Terry Ludwig and Unison in the broad areas of the background, but the fruit and leaves are completely semi-hard pastels.Photo was updated and name changed from "Before the Frost" on 4/12/15.
