November Marsh

'November Marsh' 9x12 pastel

Today's painting is one that I did during the Ann Templeton workshop. I had a variety of reference photos with me and this one called out to be painted. My goal was to see how I could simplify this scene and not overwork the grasses. I did a turpenoid wash underpainting. I love the colors in this. I seem to be in a red and orange phase! I would love to try this really large.
