Walking With Dad

Walking with Dad
This new pastel painting, " Walking With Dad" is a newly finished commission.  My client described how she remembers going for hikes in the Black Hills Canyon (South Dakota) with her sister as a child.  The sisters wanted to this painting created for their Dad.  She sent a few references pictures but nothing with the family hiking.  After lots of research and sketching I came up with this composition.  The painting is sold but prints are available through Fine Art America.

Meditation

Meditation
This is a brand new pastel painting for 2012.  "Meditation" is 7.5" high x 18" wide with soft pastel on Wallis paper.   The scene is from a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado at Bierstadt Lake, a short but steep hike to this pristine alpine lake. Snow was falling at even higher elevations that day in autumn. When you reach a beautiful spot in the wilderness, it's good to take some time to meditate. This painting currently is for sale.
