Remember that old saying "Time flies"? It definitely does.
I was just reminiscing about my travels to the Petrified Forest
National Park and amazed that it has been one year, since I was
juried as one of the Park's 2009 Artist-in-Residents.
I lived within a three-room historical adobe at the Park for
two weeks and painted non-stop from early morning to late
evening. True bliss!
Above is a pastel on a primed wooden panel, which greatly enhanced
the texture of rough rocks. And the mountainous scene is one
of many located along the 3 1/2 mile loop leading from the Park's
main road to the Blue Mesa Trail.
Just lovely!! And the texture is perfect for your subject.
ReplyDeleteBonita atmósfera.
ReplyDeleteNice balance of land and sky. Great texture and color.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like true bliss! I never heard of painting with pastels on wood before. Do you have to put glass over it when framing? Very nice.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fanstatic job on the rocks, the texture is just wonderful. Didn't know you could do pastel on wooden panel.
