Thanks Leslie,

Thinking back, I have no idea why I played down the big shadow, other than he had such a soft personality, I just couldn't make a lot of hard lines.

I too feel timid about making commments to the wonderful work at this site. Mainly because I am not as "pro" as I would like to be. Let's face it, instead of writing the books, they are sitting in my lap getting pastel dust all over them, so I am afraid I will say something "un-educated or disagreeable" to the pros here. But, I do see post with out replies so I will try and say something. I just love doing pastels so much, they fit my ADHD personality, since I don't have to clean up! I want everyone to love them, so I can only think of two great people to quote here with their incredible wisdom...

First - Thumper, circa 1960's, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" - this is what I am afraid of.

But then there is one of my art teachers from years ago, George Chavetel, circa 1976 - whenever anyone would come to the studio he would always ask them to critique our work. They always said "I don't know much about art", and George would always respond, "Yeah, but you know what you like!" So that is the advice I will carry myself with! There is always something to like! Thanks.
