"Plastic Bag and Fruit II"
16" x 14" Pastel
This was my most satisfying pastel to date. I did the whole thing with just one mid-drawing suggestion from instructor Bob Semans. When he did the final critique, he told me that this was my best pastel to date. The challenges for me are making the bag appear translucent, creating the fruit so the viewer can determine which pieces are inside the bag, and pushing my values.

Hi Mary,
I do like how the drapery seems to glow. It is a finely executed pastel. I have never tried drawing, much less painting, fruit in a plastic bag. I can imagine it creates quite the challenge.
I enjoyed scrolling through your blog looking at previous posts and Monday class work; well done!
It is a fabulous piece, Mary! I almost want to reach for that plum!
I can see right through that plastic bag. I admire pastel artists. It seems so difficult to achieve this kind of result with what I think of as a difficult medium.
Magnificos trabajos. Precioso bodegon!!
