"Sunlight on Center Stage"
Pastel on Sanded Arches - 21.5x14.5
Every now and then a painting starts as one subject and "morphs" into something entirely different. I assembled the composition for this piece from several photos and previous paintings of the salt marsh. What I originally envisioned was an emphasis on pine trees across the marsh, but as I worked on the lighting and values, the cord grass took center stage. I believe this was an exercise in values and color that really stretched my experience and imagination.
