Description
I like to create textures using different hardness of pastels and work in many layers. Just for the beak of the seagull I have used 10 different colors and shades. The eye to me is like a jewel chased in agate pebbles. It is a large portrait but each small area is like a new land to be explored. I marvel at the story it tells, the small nicks and scratches, what is it like to be a seagull around Orcas Island? Another question I often ask myself: �What is white in the shade?� Look how dark a blue it actually became! But you know that in �reality� it is white never the less!
