Marsh Expectation

Pastel, 9x12

This painting represents a challenge to take a portion of a photograph - in this case a very small portion - and to emphasize the design elements and simplify the palette.  No bright greens were used in this painting with the expectation that other colors and values would suggest the marsh grass in this vista.
This painting was executed in the Lyn Asselta workshop, and she's the one who took all the bright green out of my box!  Thanks for raising my expectations.
