Bubble Glass and Grapes



I haven't worked on paper in quite awhile. Mainly because I have found the boards from RTsTx so pearlescent (if that is a word). The boards are ready to paint on. No preparation necessary, no stretching. And I can use the same frames that I have for my oils.
I do like the edges of the painting on the paper. So maybe i will work this way for awhile.

Yellow Pitcher and Flowers




I haven't been able to paint because my glasses are out for new lenses and I'm using my distance only glasses! How's that for an excuse? I use progressive lenses and my cheapo insurance covers this lab that seems to be in Siberia! And this is the second time they have them cause the first time they made them the reading and the mid distance were so off I really couldn't see out of them. So I decided to look at my pastels and see if any of them needed more work. The thing about pastel is that I don't mind reworking them (to a point). With the oils it seems that it's just as easy to start one over.
I think I improved this one since i did it last year about this time.
