Last of Autumn

Last of Autumn


Pastel, 6x6 on UArt


 As an exercise, I set myself a limit of 35 minutes to do this painting.  

 I did this small study based on sketches and photos of a branch of salt marsh near my home.  This is a view from the sidewalk beside a busy 6-lane parkway.  The traffic is all forgotten here as summer has gone, autumn is passing, and the marsh lies waiting for winter.

 Note: 11/28/17 Evening - I punched some of the values, changed the distance, and took a better photo.
