This is the latest DSFDF challenge. I liked the subject selection very much and decided to jump on it and get it done. I still had my box of loose pastels out. I usually pull out my trays of pastels when I work in this medium. I have had to reorganize my studio space to a much smaller area. So this little box of pastels fits better than getting out the whole extravaganza.Saturday, June 6, 2009

Wow! You really got the glow of those onions and the sparkle on the tomatoes. When I look at it closely, I notice the wonderful blue tones on the corn too. Great job!
This has a wonderfully rich feel to it. It's a treat to look at, especially the enlarged view.
LOVELY, i love that onion.
Dori your pastels of late are really exquisite...I too really like the hints of blue in there.

This is beautiful. Great job!
The color and line work on this enlarged are just to die for. Great work!! I'm wondering if you worked on brown paper or if you layered gold over brown... Whatever you did, it's beautiful.
Dori, this is so beautiful! I'm with Camille...how did you create that wonderful glow?
ouahou ! cette nature morte est très bien réussie, tu es vraiment douée alors continue à nous épater...moi je regarde pour apprendre ...
Your pastel is one of my favorites; it looks like you really had fun with it too. Very masterfully done!
