Pastel Landscape, Papalote Dos

I painted with my pastels today. Gene unframed an old painting for me and I reused the Pastelbord for this windmill. It will go well in the frame which is made to look like old wood. I painted this from one of the photos we took on the way back from Mexico.

The photo of the painting is not great, it should be more blue-gray. We still do not have any sunshine. Hopefully tomorrow. At least we are not back east in the snowstorms. Yikes. Hope you are all well and staying cozy!

Papalote Dos
Pastel, 8 x 10 inches on Pastelbord

This painting will be destined for Peppers Art Gallery in New Mexico.

I really like this. The bluesy-gray sky contrasts nicely with the warm greens and browns in the foreground. Great job on the sky!

Thanks, Joanna. I will get up a better photo, took one in the sun.

Peggy, thank you, pastels are fun to use and a forgiving medium.
