This portrait is of my daughter Sarah and is one of many dozens I have done over the last 20+ years. I began with pencil, charcoal and graphite at school but when unleashed with the soft pastel on coloured paper I was hooked. The application of colour on colour is wildly exciting. I find special passion in the colour relationships and the warm and cool parts considerations when painting the human form. I feel that Pastel can be used for drawing and painting depending on how the medium is applied. I appreciate being able to hold the pigment in my hand and paint so directly. I am most happy when painting with such a wonderful set of colours. Like a child with as many lollies as they can imagine!
