In reply to Ellen. You are so welcome Ellen!! And you are so sweet to to say such lovely things Funny thing, your name came up tonight at the summer school workshop I'm attending at MISSA. As one of the instructors, Mario A Robinson was giving a short talk and he showed early work that included pastels. That was a surprise! And some of those pieces reminded me of your work. And I asked him if he knew you and of course he does. And we both agreed how lovely you and your work are!!!

In reply to Tena. Tena thanks for commenting - always appreciated! I am delighted you discovered this blog post with guest Ellen Eagle. As you say, her work is stunning and I'm glad you have been inspired by it. Just because you are interested in portraiture in pastels, you might also enjoy the work of Carol Peebles.

I’m a little late to this party but I’ll comment anyway. I recently returned to portrait painting after a long absence. In my search for portrait artists who work in pastels, I discovered Ellen Eagle’s magnificent paintings. She is exactly the inspiration and example I was looking for. Thank you, Gail, for this post. Thank you, Ellen Eagle, for being my guiding light. I admire your work more than I can say.
