Back in the 1960's Carol did this pastel chalk painting of a art piece on a postcard sent to her. She believes the picture on the card was of a painting in a San Francisco museum. Perhaps someone is familiar with that painting. About the same time, she also did a Spanish lady she copied from a box a perfume bottle came in. I love that one too! She used to draw quite a bit and also wrote. She even wrote a story based on the life of one of her grandmothers.
The pastel sticks are not round like a color crayon but instead are square. Carol still has some. She doesn't do much artwork any more, which is a shame because she is very talented, IMHO.
