Returning from my first IAPS convention in Albuquerque, my husband and I were treated to this glorious sunrise. The vista was so wonderful and changing by the minute. I was thankful for a camera with an SD card rather than film, just could not help but snap photos incessantly.

Just returned from my first IAPS convention, what a wonderful week of learning and fellowship. So many prestigious artists sharing their vast knowledge of the pastel medium. I took a demo or workshop every day. This is a painting was started in a workshop instructed by Stan Sperlak, learned so much from each artist. 

The reference photo for the painting was taken on the first sunny day following a week of rain and destruction in Texas. It was so good to see billowing clouds against that blue sky.
