Pastel - UArt 27x21
Work In Progress

Update for 10-28 - (had to repaint a wall in the living room) worked on point of land to the left, reflections and water.
Update for 10-27 - more painting of the house, but I did get in a little time on this pastel. worked on water lines and shore on the left.

Stay tuned....
