Grand Tetons, Summer Snow

19" X 28"

Soft Pastel on Texturized Mat Board

Finally a big one! I haven't worked this large in pastel for several years. I spent many, many sessions on this one.

This is one of those times where I'm really frustrated that I don't own a nicer camera. The photo absolutely doesn't do this painting justice. If I get the colors right, the texture is blown out and vice-versa. It's a must-see in person. It has tons of texture and tiny details that are completely lost in the photo. But here are some detail shots, to help you get the basic effect:

I'm entering this in the Idaho Paints Idaho show in May, so it's off to the framer!
