- Plien air pastel painting of a path in a park in Michigan with a bridge in the distance.
Pastel painting 12.75 inches x 5 inches
I painted this scene in Gallup Park in Ann Arbor a couple of weeks ago (right after I jumped into the lake to save my first plein air painting of the day). I have been challenging myself lately to stop looking for the "perfect" subject matter for my pastel landscapes, and just paint what i see in front of me. This is probably not the type of scene I would have searched for, but I am pleased with the results. If you've seen much of my work, you know I like to work with odd shaped compositions. This extreme horizontal worked well for a panoramic-type view.
