"SENTRIES ON LOOP TRAIL"
"Sentries
On Loop Trail" began as a thumbnail from a photo reference I shot years
ago. For me, photo references are just a jump-off point: I will move
objects around, make trees larger or smaller, change the color scheme
and make up my own mood. This one was no different! My thumbnail was
about half size, I used a marker and 3 colors to block in shapes. Then
from there, I changed it even more, asking myself . . .
"What if ...." "What if I made the trees all
black?" "What if I used just three colors?" "What if I made those
short trees tall?" and this happened .... Remember, pastels are pure
pigment and can last hundreds of years. Feel assured you will enjoy this
painting for your lifetime and your children will as well. 6x12" Pastel
