Fighting Mad

It was one of those days: the subject fought, I got mad, the pastel
rebelled and the paper balked.

It was a 2x wiper til I cried "do or die" and nearly did.



For a tiny (5 x 5) piece it fought like the devil.  And while I probably learned more
from this one piece than I did all week, it just wasn't fun.


It's from  a visit to Rousillion, France where we saw the hills where they mine
pastels...just desserts, huh?

Ever have a piece that just refuses to cooperate?

    You made me smile in talking about your frustrating experience! I've had many of those. But in this case I would say you definitely won! Definitely wonderful subject matter to paint, and I absolutely love the texture and colors. The distant hills, the roof tops, the sunny colors of the buildings - it ALL works beautifully!!
