I was super moved my some photo reference I foundtoday of the Worp nature reserve near my friend Miranda
in the Netherlands so I did a fast sketch.
I used pastel (and I think they were mine at art school --
so are very old and dry), oil pastel and coloured pencil.
I was breaking probably every rule and rediscovering why I
like paint.
But I had a lot of fun, and heightened my incredible
admiration for pastel artists like my friend Marcia
Labelle.

Hi Muir, this rendering of the Worp is both delightful and scintillating as is the artist, herself!!! ❤️

Hi Marcia,
You are sweet. It is not quite up to scratch. The photo is incredibly beautiful, and I might be able to
do it justice with hours and hours of paint. But paint is not happening tonight.
and I was inspired by you. But my pastels were as hard as rocks, and almost as big! Funny.
I will put the link to you in tomorrow. I so love your work.
XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
