Green Frog

I have not worked on pastels all summer! Since the fall season is coming (yeah!) I need to get cracking and get the emporiums stocked up. Inspired by my nature-loving children, I started out this time with salamanders. After doing three types, I wanted to try a frog. I am so excited that it looks like a frog! I’ve been playing around with some new techniques–using acrylics in the beginning stages and using water to change the pastel chalks. I’ve also worked with a pen to sharpen some of the outer lines. These are things I have wanted to try for a while. It’s been fun to get started again.

That frog has plenty of personality—and you’re right, it looks just like a frog, too! Wonder why it’s called a green frog, cause it looks pretty yellow except for that spot on its cheek. I seriously think this new direction is going to be a “gold” mine though, for your art.
