   Those paintings are stunning, especially the one of the lion. Did you make them?

     Thank you so much Josh!

     The color portraits are created with pastel on a very soft paper. This pastel technique is one I have worked with and fine tuned over 50 years. It allows me to create many layers of soft pastel tones, much like glazes with oil paints. I use three different types of pastels, very soft, hard and pastel pencil for the super fine details. More can be seen at my personal website http://www.legendarycreations.com

     Thanks again Josh.

     All my best,
     Steven Paul Carlson
