So this is an area up by Astoria Oregon and it's a road that seems to be in a potentially marshy area but it did offer some nice landscapes. This is about an 12 by 14 done on Canson paper and a variety of pastels although I do like the Great American Art works pastels . Hope to continues on in the 30 Paintings in thirty cays challenge" I don't like to think of this a competition but a learning experience. 

Sometimes you just have to grab those pastels and scribble. I may try it in a more realistic manner next time.

Interested in this one so I used pastel on paper. 

so I think this is Day #7 of the thirty paintings in 30 days challenge and it's been fun to work everyday. -- So I've just been setting objects in a box or on a shelf and just drawing the shapes and sort of experimenting as I go. I never know where it will lead.

Well this is a quick sketch I did today. I think I was contemplating doing this composition and taking it further. I'll have to think about it but it was fun to do a quick sketch.

okay well I'm enjoying working on shapes. This 30 paintings in thirty days is giving me more discipline because of the deadline. I guess I like discipline. It's interesting to see which shapes and colors work well together and then say okay lets try that.

Day 5 of the 30 paintings in 30 day challenge . I started late tho but it's still fun. Well see what happens next.

I started this 30 paintings in thirty days. A few days late but I'm going to do it to challenge myself and also do some experimenting with smaller pieces so I can learn a few things. It's actually day four but it's day one for me. This is pastel on some Wallis paper.
