The weather held out, and the sun even snuck out on Friday evening for the 2006 Fine Arts Fiesta held in Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. Blue Nude was accepted into the Adult Juried Show, and I found it displayed with a few other colored pencil pictures, some from group members for CPSA115.

Prismacolor colored pencil on brown Colorfix paper, 12″ x 9″. Completed 2006.

My comments: Interlude is the only picture in the Blue Series that wasn’t done on blue paper - it was done on brown Colourfix. I drew this when Kiersten and I were still living in different cities, and could only see each other on the weekends. Interlude refers to that time between being together, when your thoughts are wandering to the other person, and the days left until you reunite.

Heading to Philadelphia this weekend with my girlfriend to see the Andrew Wyeth exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Really looking forward to it!
