Pastel sketches I feel are often much
better than finished painting as they
have a freshness and vitality which
finished work can lack. This was done
one late fall afternoon. The primed
under-painted surface gives this
image a lot of vitality.
This is great, I really love the color scheme and the lighting here, So well balanced,and the depth and the composition,.all Wonderful!! The brushes has become alive in your hand! Great Job! JIMX
