This is my first attempt at using soft pastels! I really enjoyed using this media. This is for the Virtual Sketch Day to be posted on Saturday, but wanted to get it on line as we are doing the Sketch Crawl (www.sketchcrawl.com) where I work on Saturday and wanted to have this completed...also it is the big Michigan State vs. Michigan game and we have a tailgate party tomorrow night for hospital donations! I painted 11 pumpkins for centerpieces!

Wonderful first attempt with a new medium, but it would still be impressive if it were your hundredth. Great job!
Very good for your first attempt with soft pastels. A very splended job.
I really like this. It has a soft fluid feel accented by the striped wall. Wonderful.
Beautiful! I like how you did the background, too.
Love, love, love the way this looks. Like a cubist Cezanne.
Now I am going to go 'artist hunting' to discover the artist I think it resembles...
Scratch that "cubist cezanne" reference...
it's Matisse...

I love the curves and fluidness of this.
Very nice. You've got lovely smooth liquid shapes and a soft touch. Beautiful.
I like what you did with the background. I usually chicken out and leave it out!
Looks like you had a lot of fun with this, especially creating the various background elements! You put a lot of your own vision into this and it's a great interpretation.
What a jazzy backround. Very interesting.
Oh this is different! I like the swirly background and the fluid feel. Those pears look as if they are having a conversation!
The patterns and graphic quality of the composition is very nice!
You have an interesting graphic backgrond against the smooth shapes fo the pears. It gives your piece a nice contrast.
Nice work!
Cool curves and patterns!
I like your soft flowing semi abstract approach. Fresh and light.
You out did yourself on this one!
Fantastic!
