Spider Plant

Every once in awhile I have this overwhelming urge to try something different.  Which is where this piece came from.  I'd been doing watercolors almost exclusively and was BORED!  Time to play with some pastels!

So, I pulled out some craft paper...I have this huge roll of it on a metal rack, complete with cutting edge, that belonged to my grandfather.  It's not meant for fine art.  Really.  But I was just playing around, and it provided an interesting background color.  I think I like it.  Except the paper is all roughed up and pilling in spots, so it's not even close to frame-worthy!  If I want to pursue using pastels, I'll have to buy some real paper and ditch grandpa's big  brown roll!
