Aren’t we all?!
Who said something about standing in the spring rain?
Oh, yeah… that would be me.
And here, it happens every day… faithfully. Everything reflecting in the lovely Italian marble floor… so beautiful, so… dangerous. I brought an old box of pastels, broken and worn. I used them years and years ago…I think. I’m so used to my soft pastels in the big box there was no hope of bringing along. So… the old box would do, of course!
Mistake.
I used these? Seriously.
They are the hardest, most frustrating materials. And…they won’t be returning to New England… they’ll be used up or buried on the island where no one will ever think of looking for them. A mystery one day when unearthed.
Until then… a reflective pool after a spring rain.
A work in progress.
After the rain – Pastel work in progress – approx 20×15
