Eastside, landscape with trees, pastel.

After seeing Murray's After the Storm, I hesitate to claim plein air when painting on my porch in the shade. Ha.
I haven't painted out in a looooong time so started in some comfort.

and the setup

 

[Artyczar]

Wow! This is fantastic! Absolutely gorgeous work!

 

[CaliAnn]

You are sooo good with pastels! There is so much beautiful light in this piece - it really is stunning!

 

[Queen Bee]

Lovely painting. Thank you for showing the set up.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Artyczar, thank you so much.

CaliAnn, thanks. You always give me a smile.

Queen Bee, appreciate your thoughts. That is a pretty good set up. Pretty easy to carry in a bag.

It feels like two different paintings in the one shell. Color is clean and gleaming.

 

[Triduana]

Beautiful work. Love the group of trees on the right.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Enyaw, thanks. I do enjoy lots of color

Triduana, thank you. I spent one summer painting and sketching trees happy you noticed.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Enyaw, thanks so much.

 

[Bongo]

You made an otherworldly painting out of "scrub brush".

 

[Jo Castillo]

Bongo, thanks. I think we paint as we see and feel and I like that view.
