Reading on Deck

'Reading on Deck' 5x7 pastel on pastelbord

Here is something different for me....a person! I have all these photos of people reading, eating and relaxing on a cruise ship that I want to paint...but I am always reluctant to try because it is really outside of my comfort zone. I know I need to practice painting things that stretch and challenge me so I will try to do that at least for one painting a week. Yes...that means trying some architecture too!
