I haven't done anything in the way of artwork since school, but last week, out of the blue, decided to buy myself a set of pastels and give it a try.
Here is my first try (technically second - but you'll have to see my other post for full details).
I selected this lovely image from Absolutely Beautiful Things:
And then tried to capture it on paper:
Not too shabby for a first attempt... Of course in light of the caliber of my creations from 20 years ago, it probably won't get much better than this. I'm not a real artist - but it sure is fun!
How about you? Do you play artist, poet or musician - just for fun?

Wow. I'm impressed. Who knew you were an artist??!?!
I play a writer... just for fun. :-)
Beautiful! Peonies are such inspiration!
Does appreciating the works of artistic people count as an attempt to be an artist? :)
I think it's gorgeous Kate! I can't wait to see what else you create....I see an etsy shop of your own in your future!
I wish I had such talent.
Not shabby at all. Love blue and white with pink added in. Looking forward to your next inspiration.
