Federation of Canadian Artist (FCA) & Exhibit Entry
Posted on November 7, 2007
It has been a couple of exciting weeks. First Dianna’s workshop that taught me so much about pastels. Then, with Dianna’s guidance, I was juried into the Federation of Canadian Artists.
More than anything it gives a feeling of being part of the artists community instead of just being a part time artist. I hope I can really make use of the membership.
I entered three paintings into a juried show called "Red & Gold". All mediums are accepted, the only caveat is that the painting must contain red or gold or both. A pretty easy requirement. So as you can imagine I have entered the candy apple, now officially titled "Luscious".
The two others are "Desire" and "One Voice". I will post a follow up on whether or not any of the three gets accepted.

Candy Apple 01 Painting WIP
Posted on November 1, 2007
Here is my latest work in progress. As promised in a previous post, I have started to paint the Candy Apples I photographed a couple months ago. So far I have about 4 hours into it.
Everything is progressing relatively well. Taking regular breaks has been the key with this painting as when I come back to it I always find something to correct.
I have been using Unison pastels for most of it but yern for some pastel pencils to get in all the detail I would like. It is 9×12″ on sanded LeCarte paper.
I will post more later…
UPDATE: added newest image.
