I love pastels for both their immediacy and the challenge of layering to achieve the desired effect -- while allowing the intensity and verve of the pastel to spring forth.  My earlier work in printmaking has helped me see areas in large blocks of value and color, providing a solid basis for my paintings.  In many of my compositions there are areas of significant contrast between light and darkness.  I particularly drawn to paintings of the human figure – lately in a series of paintings of “ordinary people doing ordinary things.  Christine Cobb
