IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED

After focusing a lot of time and energy preparing for next week's opening reception - cleaning up, hanging art work, making labels, etc. - I actually sat down at the drawing table yesterday and attempted to create a small watercolor sketch.  It never happened.  The paper was of poor quality, and the initial washes for the sky looked awful.  On a whim, I began playing with pastel, rendering the mid-ground and fore-ground first, and then re-working the sky.

Tuscan Three...pastel..6c10

I thought I should post this today because looking at recent posts one would think all I do is eat pasta.
