Sharon,

I considered doing pastel but I think it would not have worked as well. The paper does not completely lay down and offers plenty to snag on. There is a bit of a "fur" to it, along with the branches of the leaves. I don't think it would have tolerated any kind of heavy handed approach, which tend to have with pastels.

My cynical side (which constitutes about 80%) suggests that it only need survive until I photograph it. If it disintegrates it will happen on my wall.

That's it, the cropped version stays and the rest goes. I'll mail out the reduction of image forms for everyone to sign today.
