I was recently asked by a gallery owner if I would be interested in trading one of my small paintings for a set of pastels a 90 year old artist was ready to part with. How could I refuse? It turned out the set he gave me more than doubled what I already had and I think the honor of him choosing me, seeing my little painting hung next to well-known artists that I admire, and the feeling of encouragement I got, made for a very lopsided trade. I hope he is half as thrilled as I am. This little painting, "Juniper Hill Loop" is the first one I've made using some of the new pastels.
