born to the season

Here is my experiment of turning an acrylic painting into a pastel painting. The scene was inspired by the precious end-of-fall days we have had recently. This painting is best viewed REALLY CLOSE to see the part the texture plays. Click the image to enlarge.

    Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Donna, getting rid of the previous very bad painting was the motivator for trying this process.
