Winter Bones, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper
Winter Bones – lichen and moss on branches and the “bones” of the winter forest are revealed by lack of foliage at a flood zone in Hillsboro OR. A certain chaotic beauty and textures occurred during the first moments of work, so I didn’t tidy and organize the forest too much.

18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. Framed size 27H x 33W”. Details of work as it progressed:
