Santiago Canyon Painting

The size of the masonite board I was painting on was 24"X36".  It is treated with pumice gel and acrylic paint to hold the pastel.  I wanted my subject to be more intimate than it had been in recent paintings.

This painting will end up being a studio painting.  The color needs work.  The shapes need refinement but the arrangement of the elements and the feeling of the light will serve me well when I take this to a studio work.

The goal is to get the plein air piece to read as a completed painting.  This one did not make it.  One painting one sitting win or lose.  However there is enough to build from.  Another painting on my journey.
