Cedars with Color
Pastel on Gatorboard, 14x11
To purchase, contact me
This painting was started from beneath the Beach Blvd. bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. It was raining, and the colors of the salt marsh were spectacular. The part of the scene that attracted my attention most was the stark contrast between the dark, gray-green cedars with the marsh grasses and coastal shrubs that the rain had turned to brilliant green and gold.
With the rain, I had to do most of this back in the studio, where I could work with edges, colors, and the composition.
