Hill Country Creek

Hill Country Creek
12 x 24, pastel

As stated in the previous post, I have been involved with a commission for awhile. But prior to beginning it, I decided that I might better bone up on painting a landscape. This painting gave me the opportunity to paint a landscape but to also, improvise and create what is not actually included in the photo.

I have a bad habit of being tied to the photo in my paintings. Trying to expand and add what the painting might need to be more interesting is a goal of mine. The actual photo was of a creek with maybe a foot wide trickle of water in it at any one point. This was fun!
