I love the combination of mediums. I enjoy the way your eye places the colors. I’ve played with pastels and always find myself using them like color crayons. You’ve shown me they can do much more. Please continue putting these up.

Thank you . Will do; I havent done much with pastels since about 5 years ago, and now seem to be gravitating back to them.

Just joined yesterday. I had to comment on this gorgeous, intense, BAD-AS* yet beautiful piece. I played the cello for 10 years and this is as good as it gets. Pure excellence -

Hi. I just joined yesterday b/c I was searching for artwork. I had to post about your art. I played the cello for 10 years (a million years ago), and this piece captures every emotion I ever felt playing that wonderful instrument – the intensity, vulnerability and focus is amazing.
It’s beautiful and bad as* at the same time – pure genius.

Thank you so much for your kind appreciation.
