Cezanne in Taos

I like to think this is how Cezanne might've painted a Taos hillside...

I experimented here with a different pastel paper (St. Armand Sabertooth), and with crosshatching. The crosshatching, not my usual pastel style, came about because the paper seemed very weird to me and I couldn't figure out how to get coverage. I like the result and may try some more crosshatched pastels, though I fear I don't really have the required patient temperament.

Who's in there? It's Rumi (note he has a name now)! Rumi was a famous Sufi mystic poet. It seems an appropriate name for this bizarre, ethereal little creature who appears to be existing on an entirely different plane of reality than the rest of us, and is all white, like an entranced whirling dervish.
