Snail and pansies, after erasing a good portion of the work, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper.

First Time in the Garden, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. The images below are three phases of the work in progress. I liked the garden details but chose to blur some of them at the edges in order to keep the emphasis on the chick.
