This piece was originally a ghost of 4 other pieces, and is one of the more successful "multiple ghosts" in that it required very little pastel to make its own unique statement, for which I am pleased and grateful!
This day in the studio was plagued by murky light - a soupy, gray day in which the lines I was drawing were disappearing in front of my eyes. I had the lights on to little avail, and finally had to stop two pieces in mid-progress (see below) because I just couldn't see what I was doing. This is not to say my eyesight is failing as much as it is to acknowledge that the light required in order to get subtlety of line needs to be intense, and it wasn't today.
