When shadows go walking

Playing more with in and out of shadow.

Casting a shadow

Got interested in more color with the figures.

Alter ego

The shadows in this pastel almost overshadow the figures (pun intended) making the pedestrians seem anonymous.

Me and my shadow

I liked how the shadows are so emphasized in this pastel, if you turn it upside down it still reads as pedestrians walking.

In shadow

Wondered what shadows do at night...

The notion of a shadow

The first in a series of shadow studies I did in pastel and charcoal on paper.

The "Hattie III"

This is called the carding room where they actually spin wool onto those wooden cones the first step in the many processes that make a wool felt hat.
