Ballet dancers in coloured pastels which I don't use very often. I did this work a while ago as a test piece for the medium which I'd never used before. To be fair I don't enjoy doing pastel work myself but love to see it by other artists.

Oil pastel and graphite pencil on cardboard

My tribute to my good friend who died earlier this year. Another white pastel on black paper. Not my favourite media but I love the effect of it. I need to practice more as I can't get my head around working on negative lol, erasing to get shadows and filling in to get highlights etc. I used a chunky white stick and a white pastel pencil but detail still eludes me lol. It's a technique I need to refine. It's the second picture of a dead person I've put on, apart from humph, so I'm a cheery little soul aren't I lol? Thanks for looking

I’m sorry for not uploading for the past few weeks... I’ve been busy. But here you go!

He is on the street walking... What is his name? I don't know. He is holding flowers and a black umbrella. Where is he going? I'm not quite sure. Maybe to somebody or maybe to somewhere. Made with Oil Pastels

Pastel on brown paper bags turned into a sketchbook.

For a class by Lisa Congdon. Oil pastel. Reminds me of a circus

Ripped from the pages of my School Of Visual Arts sketchbook and pasted onto black cardboard . Late 1980's....probably 1989.

I drew this caricature as a sample of my caricature style. I did this in pen and ink and soft pastels.

I had $560,000 in Bitcoin saved up to fund my life's passion, an off-grid solar project designed to bring light to rural villages. Years of scrimping, saving, and explaining to skeptical relatives that no, Bitcoin wasn't just for internet gamblers, came down to this. But a slip of the finger almost sent my plans into eternal darkness. Making a final transfer to consolidate my project funds, I had copied the wrong wallet address. It was so quick. One paste, one click, and my stomach dropped faster than a solar panel off a roof. My entire investment vanished into the digital ether. I stared at the screen, waiting for it to grow arms and slap me in the face. When it didn't, I knew I was in trouble. Desperation led me to an energy summit, more for a diversion than anything. But fate has a sense of humor. During networking in a break, I heard a speaker casually mention Salvage Asset Recovery, as one might refer to a weather app, not the digital cavalry. I pounced like a man who'd seen a power outlet in the desert. From that first call, their crew oozed competence and tranquility. They treated my busted transfer like an engineering challenge, not a personal disaster (even though I was seconds away from rechristening the project "Bit coinless in the Dark"). Using advanced blockchain tracing techniques, they mapped the Byzantine trail of transactions. I imagined them in hard hats, working the blockchain like electricians restoring downed power lines. Each update brought hope. Eleven days in, they located the funds. Two days after that, I had it back, every Satoshi. I nearly hugged my solar panel prototype. The Salvage Asset not only recovered my money; they future-proofed me. They walked me through address verification processes, multi-sig security, and how not to let jitters turn your dream into a nightmare. It did not come across as a lecture but more like taking advice from an older brother who went through every tech blunder imaginable. Today, my project is charging forward (pun intended). The first village will soon bask in sustainable power. When they flip that switch, I’ll know it was made possible by hard work, a bit of luck, and the brilliance of Salvage Asset Recovery.

Bitcoin, USDT, USDC, and Ethereum ETC currently function within a regulatory uncertainty across numerous nations. Globally, governments are still formulating cryptocurrency regulations, which could potentially alter the legal framework. Furthermore, there exists a possibility of regulatory actions, prohibitions, or limitations that could affect Bitcoin's acceptance and valuation. A significant risk associated with Bitcoin investments is its inherent volatility. Its price can rapidly change, potentially resulting in substantial profits or losses. A high risk tolerance and preparedness for price fluctuations are essential for those considering crypto investments. The Bitcoin market is influenced by various factors, including supply and demand, regulatory changes, investor attitudes, and macroeconomic trends. Staying informed about the latest cryptocurrency news and developments is crucial for understanding market conditions that could affect Bitcoin's price. Crypto's value has been marked by significant fluctuations. Its price has experienced extreme volatility, reaching both unprecedented highs and lows. This volatility has attracted speculators and traders aiming to capitalize on these price movements. However, past performance does not guarantee future results, and Bitcoin investments carry inherent risks. The cryptocurrency landscape is constantly evolving, necessitating continuous updates on news and events. Subscribing to reputable newsletters, following industry influencers, and participating in online communities are effective ways to stay informed. Staying informed allows for adapting investment strategies based on market developments and making more accurate predictions. Thorough research is essential for successful cryptocurrency investments. Utilizing resources like META TECH RECOVERY PRO, identifying credible information sources, analyzing data, and staying current with industry news enables informed investment decisions. Studying real-world examples of both successes and failures provides valuable insights for navigating the dynamic world of crypto investments. With research as a key component, BTC investing can be approached confidently, increasing the likelihood of positive outcomes. In summary, investing in Bitcoin can be lucrative, but it requires careful market analysis, technological understanding, and risk assessment. META TECH RECOVERY PRO provides valuable resources for investors to conduct thorough research and make well-informed decisions before investing, and also to be able to recover their funds if they fall into a fraudulent investment scheme.

"The painting ""The Girl in a Shirt"" is one of the paintings series ""Her"".The artwork is painted in oil on canvas with wide textured strokes of a brush and a palette knife. In the work, we can see the opposition of a gentle female image and deliberately careless aggressive rough strokes of paint. The artist plays of black and white hard contrast against delicate pastel colors. The girl depicted in the painting feels constrained by external conditions, which prevents this painting from having an erotic value. The girl nervously tries to unbutton her shirt in order to get more air and freedom. Her pose is not balanced, which shows even more uncertainty and indecision. That's why this artwork is considered rather dramatic."
