"Fava Beans"

Most people have heard the famous movie line regarding fava beans but I don't know many people who have actually eaten them.  I found some at the farmer's market in Santa Fe and decided to add them to my OHMS series.  They are plump, green bean-like pods and the recipes I've found call for soaking or pureeing the seeds.

This is an 8" x 9" pastel on Canson Mi-Teintes paper.  Also, a "shout out" to an anonymous friend who left me a comment regarding my misspelling of Mi-Teintes on my posts.  Thank you for catching my mistake.  As an art teacher I really regret that error and am grateful to be set straight.  I'm also grateful to think that someone out there actually follows my posts and cares enough to comment.
