DESERT PASTEL -5"x5" pastel by Susan Roden


 Desert Pastel
5" x 5" pastel on wood panel

Above, Desert Pastel, is the first piece of art and only
pastel that I created while at the Farm. It was Saturday,
February 13th at 6 am, with the chilled winds moving 
with alarming speed throughout the sky. 

 The afternoon of the day prior, I drove up to the 
Desert Dairy Farm with my sculpture strapped onto the 
front and back seats. Curiosity and anticipation of 
what was in store for me with this residency.


Anna Stump, co-founder of the Desert Dairy Farm
gave me a grand tour of the facilities and grounds. 
Below is a front view of the barn, where I spent much
time during the day.
