Carolyn, long time no see -- and our loss. Please keep coming back -- from wherever you are this week. You may be one of our more peripatetic members. Please go into the Cafe and tell us how you find yourself in Nice, and what you hope to make of it in terms of your artistic bent.

This is beautiful, thoughtful work, without the addition of any 20th-Century neurosis medium or technique. Just the genuine, spontaneous article, very fun to see.

Pastels built upon pastels yield amazing mixes. The impulse is often to go for the big effect. Sometimes you can sneak up on mystery and joyful surprise.
