Hunting Red Pastel Sketch

Painting red is fun.  And painting red with pastels, wow!  These cherries are sketched on a piece of Pastelbord, 5 x 7 inches.  The sketch took about 35 minutes to complete.  If it had been painted larger there would have been more time to play in the redness.  Shoulda thought of that!

For Scavenger Hunt 504

Number 4, red with the challenge to paint the shadow

Saying shoulda reminds me of a Susan Gibson song.  You can listen here on

If you get a chance to see Susan .. do it!  She is a fabulous song writer and person.  Hey, she is in Whitefish, Montana, tonight!

    I love the cherries. My old laptop won't let me take a closer look. I may have to switch to a different device,

    Thanks, Bag Blog. I thought of doing some larger, but they are gone. Maybe next time we buy some. I do have a watermelon???? I've never tried painting that. Hmmmm.
