This is my latest creation titled "Passing Rain". It's an 18"x24" soft pastel on prepared gatorfoam (a violet and green acrylic under-painting with a pumice mixture on top). The brands of pastels I used were primarily Terry Ludwig's, Schmincke, Great American's, and Girault's. Click on the photo for a higher resolution image.
