Its been way too long since I did any artwork. We have moved to Pakistan since last I wrote. My daughter got married and the bridesmaid dresses turned out beautifully – the bride looked amazing! Ok I am a little biased. And now we are almost settled into our new house though I am still waiting for most of my art materials. I do have my pastels here though and today I did this picture. Pleased to find that I can remember how to put pastel to paper – I was beginning to have my doubts. I’m planning to do a lot of work while we are here. Though security is incredibly tight there are going to be opportunities to do some plein aire work. The light is lovely in the morning and the trees here are amazing. Everything is very green which means I will have to conquer my fear of green or find a way to avoid it!
