Three Steps

Finally the pastel painting.  I probably should have uploaded these in reverse.  This is a view of the canal and path at Trimmer.  8x10 on uart paper.   Sort of a Seinfeld picture, a painting of nothing much, just a path, a canal and some trees and grass.  Here I am just trying to counter the enormity of the overbearing green with some variety.  

Then I did a pastel sketch.

First I did a charcoal drawing.
