A couple of my recent Pastels. Both are 8"x6" on Canson Mi-Teintes paper, using Derwent, CarbOthello and Bruyzneel Pastel Pencils.

About Me
- Val de Vries
- I was brought up in a very loving home with wonderful parents and my younger brother (who is also my great friend). Loved to read, write and do puzzles as a kid. My major occupation was Private Secretary to a Lawyer and in Real Estate. After I married, there was an amazing twist in my life, when I had the opportunity to become involved in the Arts, and thus began my painting life. My first love was painting on Porcelain, and I took Seminars with as many top teachers from Australia and Overseas as I possibly could. I taught Porcelain Painting in an Adelaide Gallery, having studied and qualified as a teacher in 1986. I have been very fortunate to travel most of Australia many times over, as well as Fiji, Bali, and Europe including England and Scotland. I lived for 3 months in The Hague in Holland, and that was a really magic time in my life. I have one son, who is my pride and joy.

These are gorgeous Val!
Thanks Shelley. I didn't take up Pastels until last year (2006), and I just love them.
