Studying Degas #2

"Studying Degas #2", 7"x 5", Pastel

Another study of one of Degas' ballerinas. There is so much left to learn from him. He was a master of saying "just enough".  His color choices were wonderful, his compositions were perfect, the application of his medium...everything. He was truly a master!

Studying Degas #1

Studying Degas #1, 7"x 5", Pastel

Last fall my husband and I made a special trip to see the "Degas: A New Vision" exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Click here to read more about that wonderful experience. The inspiration of that day has never left me and in recent months, I have decided to concentrate more on pastels. Who better to study than the master himself, Edgar Degas?
