Completing William
I had to work quickly to complete the pastel before the next paralysis came and completely blanked my mind and my connection to my hand and all movement would be lost yet again. I would love to take longer on the fine detail, but each time I have a moments grace to draw I never know how long it will be there. It can be months or years before it is possible again. So I happily managed to fill in the ears which were quite a challenge to find the colour for them.
And then I filled in the background with what I initially thought was a dark black pastel, yet turned out, with my foggy eyesight, to be a dark green, which I feel works wonderfully well. This only requires an ability to smudge with a finger, no fine detail needed which is so much easier to do.
I truly loved doing this pastel. Williams proud spirit and wisdom seemed to flow out from the picture as it materialised..
