Changing My Mind.

Okay, I re-watched the vid of the Schumann and decided that I'd post it anyway for your amusement or cringing (you have been warned).   

Afterall, this blog is all about not being perfekt! More practice!!!

Trying Too Hard


My 4th pastel work. I think I was trying too hard.

Funny Recital

Better to laugh than cry, right? The Breval should have been better. As you can tell from the video there's all sorts of rhythm, intonation and other issues. We don't even start together. However, it had its moments. At one point the pianist gets all the attention. The Schumann suffered a different fate, it started out well enough but then the violinist got lost and that threw me off as well. I won't post that video, it's too embarrassing :)

Playing with Pastels


This week's challenge at Drawspace. 5 x 6, pastel pencils, about an hour. Thought it came out pretty well and it passes the mirror test.
