Walk in the Park, New Landscape Pastel Painting for February First Friday Art Walk

Finally, as promised a new pastel painting. I painted this pastel landscape in my studio from photo references and my good old memory.  I was at the park with Sue Modrak and we painted down on the riverwalk path.  It was a gorgeous day.  Those good memories inspired this painting.

Walk in the Park
Pastel on Pastelbord, 9 x 12 inches
 Framed in a mahogany colored plein air frame.

$210.00 February, 2015, see and purchase this colorful pastel painting at Art Connections Gallery, 908 Main Street, Bastrop, Texas. 512 581-1799. http://artconnectionsgallerybastrop.com/

You are invited to the First Friday Art Walk.  My artwork is part of the excitement this month at Art Connections, a unique gallery filled with art and artists.  I am sharing the Featured Artist for February with Sharon Zeugin from Austin.
