Pastel art
 

For all you pastel artists out there, check out the new addition to the SOG group. Steven Mickle, very strong composition and execution.

Isn't it amazing those are pastels. Each one that I scanned, I kept thinking these must be oil until I came to the captions and realized they weren't.

Incredible! Where do you find these guys Cynthia? Or are they finding you?

Mostly they find me. But, Steve Mickle is a name I've known for a long time. When you get involved in Portrait Society of America, you get to know people and hear names. Though I've never seen Steve there. Not sure how I first heard of him. I know in the beginning years of my site, I would ask quality artists for referrals to others of quality.
