Plein air pastel "September Outing"

This little pastel painting was done on location using a 
LaCarte paper. The cool gray shade of this paper compliments 
the warm sunny colors in this vignette of a woods pond.

River Highlights is a new pastel painting.

I started this painting of the Fishhook River on a sunny 
September morning. I wanted to capture the peacefulness 
of the scene by creating dominate cool shadow areas 
against the warm bright backlight. 
Unable to finish it on location, I finished it in
 the studio keeping the feeling I had of that beautiful morning.
