the essentials

12x12 pastel on watercolor

A quick cat-sitting trip to my niece's home in West Virginia brought new inspiration.
On this particular evening I was back at the Potomac River, albeit farther north and west. Since I had to work fast I chose Pastel Mat. I was thinking I would only do the watercolor onsite but with help from my car's heater, it dried quickly and I was able to add pastel.
There is something good about being pressured for time. You know that you can only get the essentials, not time to be picky.
