Quick Study of Sunset

7x7 pastel and watercolor on paper NFS
Tonight I worked over and over again from this study. Even though this study has its own problems, at least it's fresh.
Sometimes I am guilty of, pardon the expression, "beating a dead horse." I just won't give up. Well the painting died a slow death at least twice.
Tomorrow's another day:-)

October 6, 2008 Farmland Peek-a-Boo

8x8 pastel on Uart paper
Right past Dulles Airport you find farmland that is quickly being converted into subdivisions:-( The land is gorgeous; rolling hills, speckled trees and peek-a-boo light. At this particular sunset it reminded me of California.
