The 3 portraits below all measured around 12 by 8 inches,slightly smaller than the sizes I`ve been working on lately;here`s another 12" by 8" pastel study - hopefully by now your getting some idea what my favourite subject matter is!

Here`s some more pastel portraits from the last few months;I`ve only just discovered pastels after years of being primarily a pencil artist - I love the expressive qualities the medium brings;I always strive to convey a feeling of intense emotion in my work,be it longing or melancholy,and I find using pastels really helps this.
