Pastel 12x18 on UArt

This painting is my memory and interpretation of a view of the estuary marsh in the late summer afternoon. The clouds are starting to build and rain will soon follow.

Last Rays

Pastel, 12x18

After a cloudy, rainy afternoon, the clouds move off to the east and the sun breaks through as it sets.  A final ray of bright sunlight ignites the top of the dune setting the wet sand and grass aflame with color while the rest of the dunes lie in quiet awe to support the grandeur.

Etude Rework - Pink

Etude - Pink

Pastel 6x6 on UArt

This is a "rework" of one element of an exercise I had done earlier.  The result from the previous effort left the sky too brick-red and lifeless.  I am in the process of filing and categorizing my works, and some are being reworked.

Reworked it again, 2018 06 23.

Late Showers

Pastel 9x12 on UArt

Demonstration done at GNGallery.  In the late afternoon, the brief showers move quickly through the marshes bringing out the deepest colors. 

Last Visitors

Pastel, 9x12 on UArt

In this view of the beach through the dunes, I wanted to capture the color and warmth of the end of the day.  Even as purple and blue creep into the shadows, the open sands and the drifting clouds radiate the memories of a sunlit day.
