Day 7 - Wandering in the Garden

"Wandering in the Garden"

available here

Day 7 features another Boone painting based on our 2012 trip, which included the Daniel Boone Native Gardens.

I could keep working on this, adding more detail, but I wanted to keep it fresh and retain each stroke.  I love the oil pastel over watercolor on the Uart sanded papers.  

Going to get back to some more Vermont pictures for the next few days, stay tuned!

I loved the innocence and quiet in this photograph of my daughter.  The sun was getting high in the sky, making for strong overhead light.  Painted with Erengi and Sennelier oil pastels over a Nupastel/alcohol wash underpainting.  On salmon-colored Sabretooth sanded paper.

Thank you for reading!
