Crater Lake State Park OR, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. Framed size 27H x 33W inches, white wood frame, crackle finish.
Crater Lake’s water is in reality a vivid and surreal blue. I reworked the lake colors and background textures quite a bit, trying numerous techniques to create unique water representation, and at the same time make the surrounding mountains recede… resulting with these vertical line textures. I finally made the call to stop because in trying to fix things in some areas, other areas that were fine started becoming messy. Pastels and paper were pushed to their limits.

Fern Gestures, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, framed size 27H x 33W”. Framed size 27H x 33W inches, white wood frame, crackle finish. There are more purples in the darker areas that aren’t showing up very well in the photo here.
I love feedback and constructive criticism. My artist-friend Virginia suggested adding the fiddleheads, and although I had initially planned not to add any, the design is now much more interesting. Thanks V! Left thumbnail shows the piece before adding the fiddleheads.
