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.

Battle of the Brands with donuts and cupcakes! Slinging going on from the East Coast to the West Coast . . . what a sticky mess! Sure Kelley MacDonald will be slamming me with a jelly donut . . . or two or three stacked oh, so high! But wait . . . also Mary Sheehan Winn has jumped into this ruckus . . . and shown her sportsmanship but tossing little munchkins into the ring last week. What's a gal to do? I say sit back and catch a couple of these tasty morsels flying bye. Yum!
