A childhood friend Charles Hill got it from his mother who, I believe, said that you were her friend. I don't recall her name, but her husband was Frank. I'm sure I can get her name if you are interested. Do you remember painting this? I don't know much about art, but I love the detail and depth of this piece. I have always had it displayed. Thank you, Jeff Sara,

]]> Comment on Pastels Anyone? by Sara http://www.saramathewson.com/2008/02/12/pastels-anyone/comment-page-1/#comment-274 Sara Sat, 26 Sep 2009 04:49:44 +0000 http://www.saramathewson.com/2008/02/12/pastels-anyone/#comment-274 Pat, I have some Mungyo semi-hard pastels and use them in the first stages of the painting. Many pastelist use Nupastel or faber castell polychromos, but I bought these mungyo at a hobby lobby and they are a bit softer than the Nupastels. i did have a set of the softer square shaped pastels from Mungyo but I think I may have given them to my step daughter. They are pretty good for a starter set. They are student grade though and I'm not sure about the light fastness of them. They are softer than say a Rembrandt, and a little more "sandy" in texture. but not as soft as say a Scminke or Great American or Terry Ludwig. I think their gallery line is supposed to be of better quality. Dick Blick just came out with some new Artist's pastels and so far I've heard they are good with good lightfastness ratings and they are a really good value. They are made in England by a very popular manufacturer over there. They are of a medium softness. softer than rembrandt, but not as soft as the real softies. I think they would be great for the beginning of a painting when you don't want to clog the tooth of the paper. I will order some of them at some point when I do my next Dick Blick order. I want some of the medium soft pastels and am not happy with the Rembrandts I have. The reds/violets/pinks/roses fade to almost white when left out in the light. this is not outside light but just the light inside the house. It happened in about 6 months time so I won't be buying them anymore! Sara Pat,
