Pastel on paper 10" x 8"
Completed Spring 2010. This is one of those "end of the night" pastels when I didn't really have enough time to complete a full scale drawing. If I remember correctly, we were painting, which means that it was one long pose over 3 hours with a few breaks thrown in. I was not happy with the painting I had done so I decided to just do a small pastel with the remaining time. This pastel reminds me of how things sometimes work out best when I just turn off the critical analysis and just let things go on autopilot. After a frustrating evening with the painting I was in a mode of not caring about the outcome. I was so much turned off that when the pose time was over I was sort of surprised to see what I had done - I did not remember even doing most of this while I was in process. Now, if I could just figure out how to get back into this mode at will....hmmm.
