New work in progress # 1

This is a new drawing that I am turning into a pastel painting. This photo shows the original graphite drawing on Canson sketch paper. It is 11x14 inches. I've been working on the project for several weeks now. I hope to have the pastel work done before the end of the month so I can submit it to the gallery. If I don't have it ready for then, I'll have to wait till June to submit it. I'll post the photo of the first transfer to the pastel paper tomorrow.
