Twilight Harbor

'Twilight Harbor' 11x14 pastel

I am caught up on commissions so this week I get to paint whatever I am in the mood for. It was actually hard to decide what I wanted to paint today.I have a few ideas I want to try but I need to warm up first. This is a twighlight scene overlooking a harbor. The sun has set and the lights are starting to come on....a very peaceful time of day. This is painted on a homemade surface someone gave me. I believe she said it was from a recipe by Paul DeMarrais. It has some texture and was interesting to work on.
