HIDDEN IN A DREAM


MIST ABOVE 2 RIDGES
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel


I peered down the chasm as I stood atop the ridge so tall.

Glancing laterally, I spotted a second uninhabited ridge.

Yet within minutes the misty clouds dropped from the blue sky.

Was my vision a dream?

    You have some really intriguing pastel work here.
    I'll be back to explore more.
    There are some palette knife landscapes a couple of pages back on my blog that you might enjoy.

    Hi DJ! Thanks for visiting.
    Are you referring to Becca's on your blog? Love the impasto effect with palette knives.
