This soft pastel painting is done on Belgium Mist Kitty Wallis paper with a water color underpainting.  This is one of the series of paintings I did for the customer from Washington.  Although a very busy subject I was trying to convey the quiet lushness of the forest.

This pastel painting is done with soft pastels on Belgium Mist Kitty Wallis paper with an underpainting of water color.  This is one of the paintings I did for a customer.  After meeting with the customer I found that this painting was the closest to what they were looking for.  I have gone back to the drawing board as it were and have cranked out a couple of more paintings.  I will be posting those soon.  I used photos that they provided.
