Excellent points. Only I was impressed by the hot oranges in her shadows...Sleeping Baby for instance.

I was thinking of throwing all my browns out and using only brilliant darks for shadows on the next round. BUT really soft pastels will make a huge difference. These small images, last one was 9x14" and the first was 10 x16", are fighting my sticks. I was sort of killing time while waiting for a new refrigerator! Now that the house is done being upside down, I will finish my decorating and see what I can do next. The experiment has charged my pastel energies!
