High pastel prices

[Sharon Knettell]

Mary,

They came with my "Full Monte". I have used one in a drawing, but I have not used them as part of a larger effort. The iridescent colors are unusual and fun to play with.

While were on the subject of D.G.

I too have admired the portrait of the girl above, I have starred at it long and often. This is a beautiful girl in a beautiful dress posed very thoughtfully with wonderful light.


What I admire equally is the one that follows. Juxtapose this image with the one above. I can only imagine the discussion that went on between D.G. and the subject regarding light and pose, and the tricks that could have been employed. This is purely supposition on my part, but I can imagine that after hearing of the possibilities from the artist, Mr. Steinberg said no, show me chin up in profile. I have a hard time figuring out which of the two is more beautiful.
