First Pastel


On the way home from seeing the Petroglyphs East of Fallon we came across a very unusual sunset. I snapped some pictures of it knowing that no one would ever believe what it looked like. In this comming year I have decided to start working with pastels. Well, this is my very first pastel painting. The original is 11x14 done on Ivy Canson Mi-Teintes paper using the rough side. I used a variety of pastel brands. I don't know that the painting is really a success but I know I had so much fun in doing it. I don't know what my next one will be but I'll let you know when it's done.
