Default Painting outdoors can be fun . . . .and challenging
Before I settled on the spot where I set up my easel to do this painting, I actually did a little hiking along the river trails . . . something I haven't done in ages. A little more difficult than in the past, and last night my feet really screamed at me . . . but I have to get out and hike until I can no longer! I have missed the feel of the tree-canopied earth, and the smells of cedar and pine, the sounds of birds keeping territorial boundaries, the peace that nature can bring to the heart . . .

So, I set up my easel and my huge box of pastels that I have assembled for a workshop I will attend in three weeks. . . .and this is what I did in about two hours:


Emerald Green, 7" x 9" pastel on Fabriano Roma

You are really good

I can't wait to have time to paint again- I tried acrylics for the first time about a month ago - coastal scene. - it's in my profile album.
it's still in process LOL- have to fix the hills, the grass, and add some more details...

but I love taking my paints out on the patio to work - i get kind of messy in the house

Smile nice to take the time
hi L H
some times when hiking along a trail, with a heavy pack it would be nice to take the time, to sit and take in a point on the track, so glad you did, another luvly image really captures the mood

That's beautiful, such a peaceful scene. Thanks for sharing that and keep up the good work. Did you ever give those pix as gifts? I bet people would love to receive them.
