Lake Palms

Plein air pastel landscape painting of palm trees near a lake.

Pastel painting 11 inches x 8.5 inches

Please contact me if you are interested in this painting or similar artwork.

This pastel landscape was painted around 10 in the morning on a bright, sunny day. The patterns and textures of the palms down south are endlessly fascinating to me. Unfortunately, it is easy to get caught up in recording every leaf and shadow. I was pretty happy with this particular pastel painting. because I was able to capture the essence of the scene without getting caught up in minutia.
