Landscape Pastel of Ten Mile Range (2011) ~12 x 14

What I hoped to do was to use pastels to capture the south-facing, landscape of Ten Mile Range and Dillon Lake in Summit, Co. CO. 

The method was to apply pastels in considerable detail -- as it was a small canvas.  Mostly this was an early plein air piece, although the morning sun seems to create racing shadows and the clouds too, seem to be coming or going.  Some, for sure, was completed with a reference photograph.

I have been drawn to the beauty and spirituality of nature from my first art efforts.   Enthusiasm.  From the Greek, "filled with God" -- yes, I remain enthusiastic about having fun with pastels and grateful for those who give of their time to give me suggestions.
