Pastel Still Lifes

Though I have almost exclusively done pastel landscapes, I have shifted recently to still life, at least for awhile. A cup of tea on my back patio makes for an interesting play of backlit subject matter.
Yes, that bite of cherry was good! The most vibrant color is found in the midtone and I have underutilized my red pastels. Red is a wonderful color.
I like to draw and pastel allows you to make marks. I think that is part of why I picked up this particular medium.
