Last night was another evening painting under the setting sun at Chemers. It was so much fun visiting with all the artists and talking with friends that I didn't finish my painting last night. So today I put the finishing touches on it. This is a 12x18 pastel on sanded paper from Kitty Wallis. The fun thing about it was I started with a ink under painting in colors that supported the subject. I typically start with a value painting in a dark nu pastel that I apply turp to get it into the paper. It is usually a gray on color value under painting. So painting with these colorful inks was very freeing and fun. It created a value map in color the support the soft pastel.
The subject is from our local hiking park. This is one of the pretty trails my husband and I enjoy hiking in Santiago Oaks Nature Park in Orange, California

Wow Dori, this came out beautifully!!
Love all the greens. I'm taking a PKR workshop in September! Can't wait!
Loved your visit Dori!
Thank you for creating the beauty you do so well! I need to start paint more in art form less in furniture pieces. I find a passion in painting all things that cross my path.
Thank you dearest Dori from your friend Dore...Our names are spelt different, yet sound the same :)

I'm so incredibly behind on all of my favorite artists but it's been a joy to look at all your recent works! This painting is a real stunner - such a beautiful transition of colors and the dark tree masses really draw me in. Hope you're doing well!
