I entered a juried show that required 12" x 12" art. I so enjoyed the format that I continue to work in it. All of these pieces are done with pastel pencils and PanPastels on Ampersand Pastelbord fixed with SpectraFix. "Enchantress of the Trees #2" is currently on display at Dragonfly Gallery in Austin, Texas.
