FEMALE SKETCH pastel on Canson Mi-Tientes paper  Sure takes a long time to get back on track!  And I have my studio together for one week now, as well as been going to life drawing at New Mexico Art League in Albuquerque.  They have wonderful models weekly and this one was done in a three-hours timeframe.  So great to be back in the game!!!!

WANDERING - pastel by Susan Roden & pickup sticks

WANDERING 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white mat * Many have wondered where I have been.  Wandering as the clouds I have gone. Transitions from one-state-to-another  and then relocating into a new home.  I must admit it took much longer than I anticipated, but I am back! In the set-up of my studio, I had a bit of an accident that delayed me even more. This was nearly a 3 /12' diameter of my pastels - oh no!

BLUE CLOUDS - pastel by Susan Roden

BLUE CLOUDS Floating  . . .  in the blue sky, the white clouds reached to the heavens.  Resting . . .  in the air high above the Earth. At peace . . . may they encase  your spirit for eternity. With love Bobby.  We are missing you greatly . . .
