A recent pastel painting, sourced from a black-and-white photograph I shot about 50 years ago in or around my hometown of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. This young girl—my younger sister Susan, not Cindy— was originally photographed for an art class at nearby Wilkes College. The original is about 15" x 22", rendered on a sheet of Canson Mi-Teintes Velvet, Moonstone color. Soft pastels used include Rembrandt. Hard pastels used are primarily NuPastel with some detail work done with CarbOthello pastel pencils.
