I put in a little painting time this morning. I put up the easel in the shade of the carport and painted the big tree out front. I spent about an hour or so while checking on the laundry in between spurts of painting. I have a new box of Nupastels so I opened that and used only those. It is always fun to use new pastels.

5 x 7 inches
Pastel on board with Colourfix Medium
I painted outside but this is not a true "from life" painting. There is a street between the tree and the house and the house is brick. I thought a New Mexico painting should have an adobe house. The tree is pretty accurate.

This is gorgeous. Great job with the artistic license, it had to be done for the sake of composition. No excuses necessary.
wabbitt, Julie, thank you so much. Nice to see you!
Re: not a true "from life" painting.... so in other words, you did what a good artist does and improved upon the original! Good for you.
Hi Teresa, thank you for your support. I appreciate you stopping by, too.

Thank you, fishing guy.
