Friday night was the last night of Chanukah and so the last candle was added and what a nice space of light it makes.
This is a photo taken with no flash.
My favorite.
And, this one was taken with the auto flash. I am always amazed at the pictures this Canon Digital Elph SD800IS takes.I've had the camera for about 2 years now and I like it because it has a function that stabilizes the image in spite of any shake your hand might do.
Sometimes however, you want a blur and boy do I have to swing my arm to get it!
This week when I came home for lunch I found some PanPastels waiting for me. Oh, do I love the mail lady!
This is a quick play with a Love stamp on watercolor paper. Wow! do these colors blend!!!
I bought some bright colors and pastels to try on some portraits.
We'll see what happens.

Hi Adrian--how have you been? I miss gut art class :( I really like the look of the Pan Pastels. Who makes them?
Hi, Adrian. I think we were in an online class together at Creative Workshops--Pam Carriker's Portrait class? I check your blog occasionally. Your recent portraits have been just lovely. I got a kick out of your latest posting because I too have become addicted to Pan Pastels during Hanukkah this year :).

Hi again, Adrian. Thanks for visiting my blog! I answered your questions about Pan Pastels in a comment on my blog. Here's an excerpt: The colors do rub off somewhat onto facing pages, but stay pretty vivid on the actual page. I haven't used a real fixative yet (too smelly and maybe toxic, and it's only an informal journal) but did use hairspray (my art journaling teacher recommends that) and it helped a little, not a lot. FYI- here's a link to a youtube video by Pam C. on painting a portrait with Pan Pastels, if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zx5CfNLpI8
Hi again, Adrian. Thanks for visiting my blog! I responded to your questions there, but here's an excerpt. I'm going to keep experimenting with the pastels and hopefully we can trade tips in the future.
