"Scout View of Kansas City"

8x10 (miniature series) oil pastel

2011

----------------------------------------------------------------

The second of this view is now complete. As you can tell, I added some light blue in the shadey grass area up front. Before I did that, it stole the attention away from the rest of the picture. It was just too dark. The blue is the same color as the sky, so it appears as if the light of the sky is reflecting off the blades of grass. I also touched up other areas with the light blue to harmonize the effect. One more to go and then onto a different picture. This next one will be done in dry pastel. The size and surface has not yet been decided.
