My version of Carol Marine's "Be Discreet"

Inspired by the looseness of Carol Marine's One a Day oil paintings, did a study of one of her recent daily paintings, "Be Discreet", but with soft pastel. Even though the main focus was to paint loosely, I still did a little blending which killed the look of spontaneity. One of these days, I will learn not to blend :D

Soft pastel on linen coated with gesso/aluminum oxide, 8 x 6
