North Patio Umbrella

From the same spot I did the 'Backdoor Daylily', long time ago.

16x20 ins pastel/brown Kraft paper

Hadn't gotten the hang of blending then. (still not very good at it)

I think the fact that it is not blended adds to the painting.

I really love all the white wispy lines all over it. That is the best part of the painting IMO.

The way you are applying the colors in layers in the trees and bushes reminds me a good deal of Bonnard:

He may be someone good to look at.

Thanks for the image and comment.

I was lucky enough to see the Exhibition of Garden Paintings about five years ago at the Cleveland Museum of Art that had three, I think, of Bonnard's works, one of which I really liked.
I will look him up again to study his pastel layering.

FWIW, be advised that there is nowhere near the concentration and quality of Art Museums down here as compared to my real home back there where you are. Enjoy while you can.

Bonnard rarely used pastel... and the example I posted was oil... but I'm thinking of the manner in which he applied layers of colors allowing various layers to show through. This approach certainly has links to the application of pastel.

Thanks, and I see what you mean.
