"Palm on the Water, I"
Pastel on UArt, 9x12
This is an image of a single palm tree that stretches its curved form over a bend in an old boat channel through the salt marsh. In the late afternoon, the distance fades to lavender, but the foreground blazes with color
I started this painting with Chinese ink on UArt paper. The use of the ink and brush help me simplify and solidify the design. Then I added color and "drama" with pastels.
This is the beginning design in Chinese ink.
