Pastel 91 - You Tell Me

Plainly a person and a butterfly, but that's all I know.

Pastel 90 - Light on Whippoorwill

Strange, secretive birds.  I haven't heard one in years - I miss the sound.

Pastel, ball point, and Sharpie on 18 x 24 inch kraft paper.

Pastel 89 - Playing with the Dogs

Neighbors of ours own a toothy dachshund with the soul of a mastiff; I think Malcolm influenced this one...

Pastel 88 - Horse

Pastel 87 - Not Sure...

I feel like there is a lot going on here, but I channel it without comment.

Some house remodeling slowed the Pastels for a few weeks - they've started up again this weekend.

Pastel 86 - Facing Down the Sumo Rats

This is one of the few times I've used black - I generally prefer to use a blue, purple or dark brown to represent black.  But I needed the gritty, sooty feel for this one.

As usual - this was a surprise to me, starting with the rat faces and the big bellied body of the rat in the foreground.

Pastel 85 - Barn Animals

Once again, I do not know how it happens, but the pony, with folded legs, and the goat were just "there" in the blind drawn pen lines.  I added the duck and the rabbit.
