Snow damn snow!

Was so looking forward to the Pastel Society of Ireland's first event of 2013.Last night was packed and ready to go for the one day pastel workshop lead by Betty Christie. I love her work and was keen to learn some new techniques using collage with pastel. Unfortunately it had to be cancelled due to the snowy conditions. This also meant that the Annual Poster Competition was also postponed. I had spent yesterday painting a pastel picture for that competition. I had bought some pomegranates

and before we devoured their delicious contents I decided to use them for a still life painting! Should have taken the picture before putting it in the frame sorry!Two pastel pictures in one month that's a record for me!
