Twisting Branches

Sorry, I have been away from art and away from my blog.  This is one hour's worth of beginning on a new pastel.  I did it in class a couple of weeks ago, and all I did was block in the 3 basic values of masses, so it doesn't make much sense right now.  But suddenly my life got out of control and I had to put all painting, weaving, and art of any kind away to deal with life stuff, and there are only so many hours in a day!  Things are still a bit crazy, so it might be a while before I work on this some more, or blog again, but rest assured, I will be back!
