"Yellow Creek State Park"
16" x 20"
Pastel on canson
This painting was done plein aire at Yellow Creek State Park near Indiana, Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful day with some low clouds hanging over the lake. The light bounced off the yellow field and gave the scene a glorious glow.

I like this Pat. Those nice clouds and golden glow on the field. I feel the calmness of the day.
Pat, this is beautiful! And on Canson! You are brave woman. I'm most of the time reaching for my sandpaper. :-)
What a beautifully bruised sky and sunlight glowing grasses, Pat. I so wish I had an iota of your talent and your vision. Just gorgeous, as always.
Moody and mysterious. Your creativity is endless. Love it!
I believe one of the hardest things to do right in painting is a beautiful sky in pastel. You obviously disagree. All I can say is this is a beautiful painting- and the fact that it is Plein Aire makes it even more so. I envy you the ability to paint Plein Aire- as my health keeps me from it.
This is absolutely lovely, Pat. Your sun-kissed grasses are exceptional.
Thanks, Linda, I'm glad you like it.
Thanks, Tatiana, I'm not sure sanded paper was affordable when I first started using pastels. Am I aging myself? LOL
Thanks, Autumn, the day's setting helped a lot. LOL
Thanks, Mary Beth, see you Friday.
Thom, if I could consistently paint a great sky, I would disagree, but, I find it hard to paint skies and give it the dimension that it has. I do feel fortunate to be able to paint plein aire. Maybe you could join us sometime when our subject isn't too far from the car. Often, where we park is where we paint.
Thanks, Claire. I like you term "sun-kissed".
This is beautiful Pat. It is surely sun-kissed as Claire says.
Thanks, Debra. I'm glad you like it.
Pat, this piece is so inviting! I admire all that you've been able to capture here, especially in plein air.
Thanks, Amy, plein aire inspires my paintings, but there is usually some studio work involved. I always say I'm not a plein aire painter, but I like to paint in plein aire. LOL
