"Chief of Lonely Street ©," a recently completed original done with pastel, about 15" x 22" unframed, rendered on a sheet of Canson Mi-Teintes rag paper, Steel Gray, using a mix of soft pastel brands, mostly Rembrandt, and NuPastel hard pastel. Some detail work rendered with CarbOthello pastel pencil. A light coat of Lascaux fixitive was applied. Much of my work is sourced from black-and-white photographs I shot in my hometown in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania for a college art class about 50 years ago. I didn't like this one after I had finished it, but it continues to grow on me. The story of the young boy on the left struggling to be included with the others leaves a mark. Rendering the asphalt was particularly difficult, but I like to complaing. Curious about more of my work? Visit my website: RandySteelePortfolio.com
