This painting is done on Wallis paper with an underpainting of watercolor.  This painting measures 24"x34" and is completed with a finshed application of soft pastel.  This painting is at Salt Creek.  This painting demonstrates some of the growth I have made as an artist in the last year.  I did an earlier version of this painting which at the time represented my current level of skill.  I think the biggest growth is in my handling of the color and value of the painting.
