THE BEAUTY OF PASTEL

 "The Audacity of Nature"  18x12 Pastel

One of my recent pastel paintings . . . and one of my all-time favs!

This was done from reference from Icicle River in Washington State.

I used one ref. photo for the river and another for the rock cliff.

This was a joy to paint. I took my time with this one. Leaving it each
day after about an hour or two of painting so I could come back
with fresh eyes and be sure what it needed - how much it needed,

how much to leave out, what to change, what to adjust. 

I love how the lighting turned out here, and the reflection of the

light in the river. It blows my mind how I was able to make the river
look flat and the cliff look vertical!  How does that happen?

Red Door, Lucca

Italy lives on in my heart still today after my travels around
Tuscany many years ago. Lucca is a favorite town and one
I chose to include in the novel I am writing.

Light in the landscape

I love the designs created by fresh snow over sage and grass.

Light upon the landscape is everything ... it draws the eye

into the sage - beckoning you onto a small trail made

by a bunny rabbit or flock of quail ... light accentuates little

treasures rarely seen, until light reveals it ... 

I hope "Morning Glory" gives you a little hope in these

scary, uncertain times of the Covid 19 virus ...
