Friends went to Michigan and photographed this cup of wildflowers they found in a sweet little general store. They thought of me when they saw them and emailed the image to me.  I decided to honor their thoughtfulness with an impressionistic version of their gift.  Thank you Susie and Israel.

Pastel on sanded paper





















These hardy wildflowers grow in a meadow near where I live, not this time of year, of course. I photographed this image late in the summer a couple of years ago and I've painted it in watercolor, acrylic and now a quick pastel study.  

I'm learning what my innate marks are when I put pastel to paper. This revelation is so interesting to me, more so in pastel than any other medium, I think.  At least this is where I'm seeing my marks most clearly.
