watched the movie
I think my DH may have read those books as a child.
I think as a child my favorite books were the series of books by Edward Eager
.Half Magic and Magic By the Lake, I remember especially fondly.
I also liked some mystery type books as a child
.I remember reading the Trixie Belden series of books.
Not sure why I didnt read that book. Most likely just never ran into it. I did read Bedknobs and Broomsticks
.
What were your favorite books as a child?
I did this painting in soft (chalk) pastel. Most of my work is in pastel, because its my favorite medium.
One time I read a post by another artist saying they were intimidated by soft pastels because it seemed to them to be trying to paint with colored dust. I had a good laugh over that and thought, he isnt entirely wrong, thats actually a pretty accurate description of the medium.
I keep telling myself I need to get into oil painting more because people like oil paintings best, but its hard to resist those soft pastels calling me.
