May 12, 2008 All Quiet at Riverbend and Ode to the Dogs

All Quiet at Riverbend, 8 x10, pastel and watercolor on marble dust board
Good news, I was invited to compete in the Plein Air event at Riverbend Park on June 7th. I am thrilled to be one of the 30 juried artists. What a group of amazing, accomplished artists they are!
So, yesterday I visited Riverbend on the Virginia side of the river. Beautiful, quiet. I started the watercolor portion of this painting there and finished the pastel today in the studio.
Finished, 15x 15, pastel and watercolor on marble dust board.
I made the necessary changes. Done!
