Pastel on Canson Mi Tientes Paper

About the cover painting on the blog Mardi Gras : This is 15 x 19 Pastel on Canson Board. I created this work to express feelings of celebration and joy. The painting , once started, took on a life of its own. It was pure pleasure to paint. I did not put too many layers of pastel on it so as to allow the texture/pattern of the paper to show through. I used mostly Terry Ludwig pastels. They work so well to help me express   a loose free form style that I like.  

I was pleased with the results and wanted to do more so I continued on with two more paintings as shown above.
