We were watching "All Creatures Great and Small", the older version. Sort of silly but a way to relax your mind. I sketched on the footstool in the Canson Mix Media sketchbook, large, full page. I drew with the Micron 03 and used watercolor for the colors. I'm still a beginner with watercolor and it almost came out as I planned.

Things are always changing and that is hard. The IAPS, International Association of Pastel Societies, is holding its final convention in Albuquerque in June 2026 after 30 years. I went 4 times I think. Twice with Sue Modrak and once with Regina Burchett and once on my own when Enid Wood was there. Always fun and learned so much. The vendors of pastels and equipment were amazing and got my start in pastels. Hmmmm. Check it out at https://iapspastel.org/
Here are a few pastel paintings that I like... so many more. You can see some more by putting pastels in the search box above or clicking on pastel paintings below.

You handled the watercolors well, Jo!
Joan, thank you so much. You inspire me. I am getting more comfortable with the watercolors.
Your talent is extraordinary. Love you friend.
R's Rue, thank you. Always inspired by your poems, too.
You handled the watercolor as well as you do the pastels. Well done!
Thanks, Helen. Some days are easier than others. Maybe it is painting something you like to paint and I've always used apples as my "go to" when I can't find anything to paint. :-)
Beautiful blog
Rajani, thank you so much. I enjoy reading your blog, don't always get to comment.
