Grateful Notices: Winter Contrasts, pastel on Sanded Paper, 15.25" x 19"

Pastel on Sanded Paper, 15 1/4 x 19 inches

Exhibited: Sorelle Gallery, Westport, Connecticut

Thank you to the collector that purchased this pastel.

In this work, I was attracted to the bands running horizontally in this composition. The colors are much exaggerated and that is what made this scene more interesting.

The vertical trees provide a vertical and chromatic counterpoint, particularly where they break the plane of the bright colors in the back.

This was an enjoyable puzzle to solve!
