This is another pastel I did for my pastel class. I’m really having a lot of fun exploring pastels and landscapes.
This is the view from the lanai where we stayed in Maui last year. Actually this was a sunrise, but I turned it into a sunset.
I’m feeling like I need to paint an abstract. These landscapes stretch me and challenge me. That is fine and good. But I love to paint abstracts.
I was totally drawn in to the work by the colors. So beautiful. I love blues the best and was surprised at how this affected me like the color blue.

Hi Mary, Thank you for your comments. I thought maybe the yellows/oranges were too bright, but then decided can a color ever be too bright? No.

Thank you so much. I love bright colors. I just can’t leave them alone. I tried a more muted palette for a bit, but it just wasn’t me.
