View from Devil's Den

I finished this pastel over the weekend. It's done on toothed paper, which I'm trying to appreciate as a pastel surface. I like the textured papers much better, but I have a lot of this and would like to find a way to work with it. For this one, I employed the use of color-shapers in some areas. (I took this photo a few years ago on just a perfect day; the painting really doesn't do the view, or the day, justice.)

Sometimes when an artist returns to a surface that was not favored in the past,a new direction of techniques happen with satisfying results. I discovered this myself so I try to never give up. This pastel is beautiful and will attract attention to many.
