I haven't used my pastels anywehere near enough for a while ...I like being able to apply the rich pigments directly mixing the colours on the surface ...but i think i need to have a watercolour wash of use coloured paper to really see that richness ...which doesn't scan well by the way

...Vive le pastel

some on-line sketches of friends

Opps

sorry about the black box (seems I'm deemed un-safe on flickr again) andits been a while between post ...i'll be back sometime soonish ;)

a happy computer

my computer is back safe and sound ...a lot cleaner and not overheating all the time ... isn't it strange how you like your own computer best, its like a good friend ... those poor workhorses in the cyber cafes are not the same ... not that I'm getting too close ...but I will have to be more careful when it is in my backpack
