Three Little Pastels

[Julie Deane]

Thanks, Sharon -

Believe me, "mischievous" is correct! They were in constant motion. The original idea was to have them in one portrait, but I ended up telling the mom that it would be better to have three individual ones because posing was out after about five minutes. I took the toys out too soon. Well, live and learn....

I like the first one best too. It was done at a monthly local event called an "artist's rendevous". I went just to get out of the house and draw, not to enter the competition, but there's something about doing art with other artists that somehow gets me "psyched" and more daring (anyone else feel that way?). Maybe it's how actors on stage feel.
