In reply to the discussion: I'm an amateur painter who likes to paint with soft pastels [View all]LiberalLoner
(10,150 posts)Actually I took up pastel because unlike other media, it stays wet and unfinished so to speak, which means when I reach a level of exhaustion, which happens easily due to damage from MS, I can go lie down to rest when I need to, without worrying about the painting being ruined.
I have seen his work and love his work!
I dont see myself as ever reaching a stage where I could sell my work. I guess my goal is to give some paintings to loved ones that hopefully they like, and to keep working on it and hopefully getting better over the years. And hand therapy, LOL. And its good therapy against the depression I struggle with, too. All those pretty pastels get me up out of bed on days when nothing else seems to motivate me.
Thank you again, so much!
