Here is what I worked on this morning. A 9x12 Pastel of a Pine tree in my front yard that always sort of looks like it’s trying to get away from me. I started this on white mi-teintes paper, and I don’t think I will do that unless I have no other other paper to choose from. I don’t mind when the paper bleeds through in some of the paintings but when it is bright white like this and I am trying to get the vibrant green of the pine needles that are catching the sunlight it fights with the green too much. I’ll keep at this one, though. I really like the shape of the tree and the shadows.
