Pastel Moment

The quote below is from Clint Watson in his "Fine Art Views". I subscribe to his newsletter. He publishes articles from some of the other blogs I subscribe to, but I like the one today called: The Moment of Hope. Check it out.

"PS - It may seem a bit of a downer, that the better you get, the more you realize that you're not great. However, it's not.
Creative pursuits require a lifetime journey of commitment and growth. It's a journey, not a destination....so while you may never be satisfied that you have "arrived", you'll get a bit closer every day, and the true greats all enjoy the ride.....and what a beautiful ride it is....won't you join us for the journey?"



Goin' Red
8 x 10 inches Pastel on Art Spectrum Pastel Card (Colourfix)

I did this pastel last summer. You will find a demo on my web page.
