Mediterranean I

Done a ways back but posting it now... In person, the dark blue is more blue-violet, and the turquoise above it is very vibrant.

Sentinels

Another bitterly cold day today. They say it will get better soon. Fingers crossed.

I'm supposed to be writing a final exam to give my college students tomorrow. Well, I've got all night, right? I first had to blog, because this will likely be my last blog until India. I will blog when possible from there too, so please stay tuned. We leave on Saturday for 3.5 weeks in central and south India.

I usually have absolutely no idea what images may form when I start a pastel. It's always an interesting process to start that way, to try to have no fear of the medium nor fear of wasting materials. It's challenging to try to approach it so fearlessly but I love it when it works.

I have decided to bring pastels on this trip, for the first time. I anticipate a lot of unforeseen possibly tragicomic misadventures (can you say "colored powder explosion in your suitcase"?).

Note tail and leg inside the radiator. This boy likes to stay plenty warm (and camouflaged, to boot).
