Summer is

A great big slice of juicy, sweet watermelon in the blazing sunshine. Of course, it helps to be a little kid too. I am still working on this one, but wanted to get something posted before too much time went by. As it is, it looks as if the little girl is sitting on a bench in front of a backdrop a la Olan Mills. I'll repost after refining. I've spent way too much time on it already! Soft pastel on Wallis sanded paper, approximately 19" X 25".

Wow! This is a nice big one! Can't wait to see it all finished up!
How does the Wallis paper compare to the Colorfix?

Thanks Linda! The Wallis paper is much more durable. Erasing to the surface is easier...and the surface holds up better. I still like Colourfix for a courser texture (less expensive too, of course). Try Wallis...it is a luxurious experience.

Thanks! I'll try it!

When I first opened this page up, I almost closed it right away because I thought "oh, she's just posting photos"!!! This is VERY nice!
