The daily dose of art MORE FAVORITES - PASTELS

Among the many pastel paintings I've done, these are two of my favorites, contrasting the elegant architecture of NYC with the high plains of Nebraska.

NYC skyline  pastel  30x40

High Plain Hills  pastel   40x30

When I look at these I wonder why I don't spend more time with the pastels.

THE HIGH PLAINS

In this, as in several other of my watercolors, I've used pastel pencils to add some of the smaller highlights and details in the last stage of the painting.
