"Bear Creek Path" by Astrid Paustian

Pastel, 11" x 15", sold.
Thinking of summer walks and plein air painting. Will bring out the colorful pastel sticks for some quick, loose sketches. It is always a lot of fun.
I enjoy switching back and forth between mediums. It changes the approach and adds a fresh new perspective.
