"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.

with fresh eyes and be sure what it needed - how much it needed,
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,
