"Wild"

Pastel on Paper

2011

This is a small (8" x 8") pastel painting on paper from a hike in the Post Oak Preserve near my home in Seagoville.  I painted it pretty quickly and originally planned to work up the grasses in the background a bit more, but I decided I kind of liked the freshness and left it alone.  You can learn more about hiking in the Post Oak Preserve and about the painting at http://paintdailytexas.blogspot.com/2011/08/wild-is-just-short-drive-away.html, or visit http://www.marknesmith.com/ to view more of my oil and pastel paintings.
