10 x10 pastel and watercolor on Uart paper $100. plus shipping and taxVibrant color in the underpainting makes me take more risks. The finished painting is actually with stronger color; the jpegs are dulled. (gotta work on that)
This painting is from yesterday at noon. The winds started to whip up and this morning they are wild. For a pastel painter that can mean another risk-a toppled easel with hundreds of dollars of perfectly-selected pastels broken and on the ground:-( Therefore the indoor studio calls.

The area at the bottom of the painting...that 'unfinished' area really works. For me it's very crisp, if that makes sense, the edges I mean. That area, as well as the tree trunks and the rocks in the water compliment and play off of the hazier edges so well!
Thanks Karen I really have to remind myself to stop when the pastel can speak for itself without added marks. Less is more, eh? Happy New Year!
Wow, just that watercolor alone is really stunning and powerful.
