I recently collaborated with my son’s first grade class to do a pastel painting. I had the kids come up to the easel one at a time, and I handed them an pastel and gave them some instruction. The picture that they did was auctioned off at a school art show to raise money for art supplies. I’m so impressed with how well little kids listen. All I did is smooth out a few edges with my finger- 95% of this pastel comes from the little hands of a fine group of six and seven year olds. Great work everyone! Here’s the pastel painting:

Here are the proud collaborators:

The pastel fetched $200 at the auction, a very respectable price! I wish making art was always this much fun!

I’ve just been elected a signature member of the Pastel Society of America. That means I get write PSA after my signature on my pastels, a “meaningful designation in the art community and for potential buyers.” The Pastel Society of America is described as “America’s Oldest and Most Prestigious Pastel Society.” It basically means I’m recognized in the pastel world. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’m pretty happy about all this!
