Here it is! Day 40 of #abstractartfor40dayschallenge, I finally made it and finished the challenge. This got me into some good habits and small, doable goals. My time management has greatly improved. Many thanks to the group moderator for making this challenge happen! Next I might try the 100 day challenge.

This piece is titled "Spring ", a pastel on 600 grit #Uart paper 9"H x 12"W unframed, using crushed pastel bits but no alcohol wash. The sun was shining with a clear blue sky the day I painted this. The brightness gave such a lovely feeling of cleansing and hope for a brighter future after such a tough year.
