Working out the "kinks".

Untitled textural pastel

Still working out the "kinks".  Taking notes on process and keeping a notebook in my studio.  Liking this one better.  Going to forgo the expensive paper for awhile and just play.  Thinking of trying a self portrait again.  Haven't done one for years.  I used to do one at least every year and have quite a collection.  It might be good to go back to representational from time to time to find that foundation again.  I believe abstraction has its roots in representational.  It is just another way of looking for me.  I could always draw representationally but it was never really expressive enough for me.  That is why I left it behind.
