Daily Artwork by Carolyn Jean Thompson: Two works in progress

Two works in progress

These two were done on location. After about 1-1/2 hours I stop and take them home because the light changed anyway. So in that 1-1/2 hour I try to block in all the lights and darks, the shapes and color notes (warm or cool, bright or greyed down). The pastels I choose to work with I keep in a box top that serves as a little tray. I take this tray home intact so I can continue with the same palette at home.

I may not get to work on these for a day or so. I have a busy couple of days lined up - an outdoor concert with my husband, and going to a Pow-Wow with my mom! More on that later!
