This is a portrait in pastels that I did at the one and only pastel workshop I have ever taken.  I think it was my first portrait as well.  I had a lot of help from the instructor Susan Woolgar, and I loved working with pastels, but have not returned to it again since the workshop.  I have no idea why, just no opportunity to work with someone and learn more about the medium I think.  Maybe I will dig them out again.
