Marsh After the Rain

Marsh After the Rain - Pastel 6 x 9

This was done as an online demonstration for a student new to pastels. We explored it step by step: wet underpainting, layering, adjusting and correcting. It may still benefit from a couple of small adjustments... or not.

Forsythia Jungle

Forsythia Jungle - Pastel study 8 x 10 
Forsythia comes in many shapes, sometimes trimmed in square, round or cone shapes but I like it best wild and unruly like this cluster I walked by a few days ago.
This painting sold through the #artistsupportpledge. When I reach $1000.00 in sales, I pledge to purchase another artist's work.
