"Glacier National Park - Highland Passage" - Pastel on Sand Paper
This is a total different style of painting for me. I wanted to create the rocks with multicolors to create the look of rocks and without using greys or browns. I also used cross hatching for the rocks.
This is one of the most beautiful National Parks I have been to. Many of the most beautiful areas requires some hiking.
This painting was painted in Oregon. Initially I did not appreciate the painting and left it in Oregon. The following year when I went back, I loved the painting. I recently entered it into the OC Fair and it has been accepted. Only 4 pastels were accepted this year.
"Horse Stampede on Bark Paper" - Oil on Bark Paper
Wanted to try painting on a new surface so I tried this bark paper. I love it and will try some new paintings on this paper again.
