I painted in my teens, and then I took a leave of absence fo 25 years from painting! It won't take long till you gain back what you lost - you won't regret it! It's a new joy that I have found back in my life. cheers!Jeannette StGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951617490107614687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150709497057343898.post-38813620454693305142009-03-05T11:53:00.000-08:002009-03-05T11:53:00.000-08:00Thank you Heather for all these compliments.

You know, not in any book for pastel artists they tell you to put a mask on. <BR/>I just noticed it, because I start coughing after working with it after a while, so I open the patio door. Wish they had more comfortable dustmasks! I appreciate the (healthy) reminder:)Jeannette StGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951617490107614687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150709497057343898.post-18266124702113720372009-03-05T11:10:00.000-08:002009-03-05T11:10:00.000-08:00Thank you Irene.

I never realized that there were so many versions of pastels...my mother had ALL types of artistry tools (oils, watercolor, pastels, chalk, acrylic, and other things). She loved oil painting...I prefer acyrylic but want to start the process of watercolor learning. I tend to be a stubborn, learn on my own - trial and error, type of person.<BR/><BR/>I admire your work, the process of it and that you share it with us in the blog world :o).<BR/><BR/>You have taught me two GREAT thought keeping treasures: 1. To be original (as you stated somewhere that an art teacher once taught you). and 2. Keep moving ahead.<BR/><BR/>You've shown me that with time and production, the process becomes perfected (not that we ever reach perfection but that we can see the growth...on paper before our eyes).<BR/><BR/>Thank you! ♥ HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04693495698843336789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150709497057343898.post-4807394930127117062009-03-04T23:08:00.000-08:002009-03-04T23:08:00.000-08:00I use to be an art supply Buyer for a company here...I use to be an art supply Buyer for a company here in Seattle. I worked with a woman that was a Pastel Artist. I would give her any samples that I got from vendors for testing. The one thing I remember about pastels is that they throw off a fine dust that gets in nose and in your lungs and pastel artists are very stubborn about wearing masks.Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084468926734824846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150709497057343898.post-9918813899226159062009-03-04T23:02:00.000-08:002009-03-04T23:02:00.000-08:00Yes, I like breaking rules - I'm somewhat of a reb...Yes, I like breaking rules - I'm somewhat of a rebel.
