Best Friends 22 x 17 pastel On Hold
Life got in the way of the 30/30 Challenge. Visitors and the most spectacular fall since we moved to VT over 5 years ago.
These are a friends chickens, Amelia Egghart and Sylvia. Shortly after I got the image, Amelia crowed... so "she" now identifies as "he" or maybe "they"?
The progress shot below was after a watercolor wash and starting to lay in pastel. I struggled with the background, it was flat. Then I remembered hearing in a workshop "when all else fails, try turquoise" so I added a mottled layer of light turquoise.
This is going to the Southern Vermont Art Center in Manchester VT for the Winter Member Show — Nov 19 - Feb 5.
It's a long winter so I hope to produce more, stay tuned.
