These are the earliest pieces of my art and the first pieces that I matted and framed. They were created while I was still in high school (after the pastel project in art class). At that time, I knew nothing about archival materials. I just went to a craft store and bought cheap mats and standard black metal frames. These 2 pastels, both 8" x 10", now hang in my Mother's house. I have since framed them with nicer frames.
As best as I can recall, the scenes were probably copied from photos in magazines. There were not titled.I have no other pieces of my "early" art so these are real treasures. I don't know why I didn't think more about saving what I created. At some point, I did purchase a large portfolio and did keep sketches that I thought were "good"; but after 40 years and more moves than I can remember, it too has disappeared.
