Winter Sycamores in Irvine Park

This pastel painting was done in the studio.  It measures 12"X24".  It was done on Wallis sanded paper with a watercolor underpainting.  This park has some of the oldest and largest sycamore trees that I have come upon.  This park has been around since 1909 and has been used by many plein air painters such as William Wendt.  The shape and color of these trees is what drew me to them.  They are each unique and seem to possess their own personality.
