Media: pastel
Size: 5x7 in
Today’s painting is a slightly different version of a scene I have painted before, on a very different surface. I was working from a blurry, sort of boring reference photo of an almost all green scene. So, I added orange, pink, and blues to the painting to spice it up a bit. I also needed to think creatively how I might re-design this scene to be a little more interesting. I decided to add a path leading to the trees and water so that the viewer might imagine having a picnic along the water’s edge, in the shade of one of these trees.
Enjoy and Happy Weekend!
