Pastel for terracotta



I finished this pastel painting the other day, and fine tuned it yesterday.  I am still exploring with this media - but must say I am enjoying it.  I have had this large, old terracotta pot for about 25 years!  It has travelled with me from house to house, and at each move I have to decide whether to keep it or not because it is useless to plant in because of the narrow top.   But I really like the shape, and the texure, so I keep it as a garden 'feature'.  I worked from the photo I took the other morning, and squinted a lot as I was trying to capture that early morning haze.
