Pastel Miniature 1

We have a miniature pastel show (Austin Pastel Society) coming up and I had to bite the bullet and do a few small ones for that purpose. As I usually paint very large formats, these little pastels (5" x 7" ) are a bit of a trial for me. However having said that, I quite like doing a quick pastel for a change. This one took me a very short time, in fact I did it at the Austin Art Space gallery while sitting our current show there.
