Sometimes I simply get inspired by colours in my pastel collection. I have a set that when I opened it a year ago I was delighted by the pinks and purples but some of them were so bright that I found it difficult to imagine when I would use them. Fast forward to yesterday when I pulled out an old protea demo painting I'd started for my pastel students and immediately I knew those pinks had finally come into their own! I had a lot of fun with this one and I really enjoyed playing the pinks and purples off each other and then adding echoes of them in a mere suggestion of more proteas in the background. This painting is unframed so you can frame to suit your own taste and decor. I've include a sample of how it would look framed two different ways.
