Now time to move on to the next painting. Not sure what that will be just yet...but I'm already to start a new one.
Thanks for your feedback! (Hi Bernice! Julie said you have been watching my blog ;-)

Fuego Azul
The agave painting is done! I had to switch back to my Coloursoft pencils. The coverage I was getting from my Lightfast Prismacolors just wasn't what I wanted.
Now time to move on to the next painting. Not sure what that will be just yet...but I'm already to start a new one.

Wonderful color combinations, Cindy! It was fun watching this one unfold.
Thanks for watching, Holly! I appreciate your nice remarks.
My goodness Cindy, the painting is so striking on the computer, I can only imagine the impact in its 11 x 14 size!
I am wowed by the colours of course, but I also appreciate your choice of subject, the composition of the piece, as well as how you dealt with the background material in the photo. Excellent choices that resulted in a very unique painting. Thank you for sharing the process with us.
Sumptuous. You continue to inspire me.
Aw shucks....thanks so much Teresa, and Regina.
I love the light in this and those colors are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the process - it was fun to watch develop :)
Thanks Ann! It's nice to have you stop in....
Well that was a great series...and its' absolutely gorgeous.

Very nice interpretation of the original picture, I love the colors and contrasts.
Thank you Sandy and Catherine. It's a joy to share it with you all.
Just delicious colours here Cindy. Its beautiful. Always a joy to watch your paintings come together.
Another beautiful piece. Bravo.
Thanks Jeanette! Thanks Fannie!
Zingy!!!
Agave make such wonderful subjects don't they? I went off on a complete month of cacti and succulents when I did one! It's their wonderful abstract patterning which got me going.
I'm intrigued by your comment that the Lightfast Prismacolors didn't give you the coverage. Was it just some colours or was it the range generally?
Do you think maybe it might be something to do with the fact that some pencils love the pastelbord and some don't?
Thank Katherine! I used primarily LF Prismas in the background, which had Inktense used as the underpainting. I was happy with what was happening.
The agave itself was underpainted with Neocolor II's. It seemed that was where I was having my problems. So it could be a combination of the board, the underpainting and user patience ;-)
