Dusk In Red
Friends -
Yesterday I completed this pastel from a snapshot
I took earlier in the
month. Bob and I had been hiking in a wonderful
area along the Colorado
River known as Fisher Towers. We basked in the
sun, clambered rocks, and
watched with our mouths open as climbers scaled
one of the towers. Tired
and dusty on the way home, we drove past this spot
quite close to the Fisher
Towers turnoff. The gold and orange colors and
the massive majesty of the
rocks took our breath away.
I had to paint it, and here in Moab, pastels seems to be my choice. While I can see from this project things that I can do to make the next one better, I am not unhappy with my Dusk in Red. Any honest critiques, however, will be valued.
This painting is already sold, with a request for the donation amount to go to a non-profit known as the City of Angels Ballet. Check out their The City of Angels Ballet WEBSITE . It seems they do really good things with kids that need a lot of support.
Enjoy this month. Halloween (my second favorite celebration day) is just around the corner.
