"November Fields"

"November Fields"

8x10 pastel on board

(miniature series)

Completed. With this piece, in order to make the shadows darker, I had to add a dark blue to the violet. I left the trees clear in the background light, because shadows in the distance appear lighter than the shadows closer to you. Also, I added a touch of green for detail in the shadows of the trees, otherwise it looked like a big dark blob.

These miniature pieces are midwestern landscapes here in Missouri. More to come.
