Work in Progress

As mentioned before in the past, Krug Park will be a focus of many paintings to come.  I find the area rich with features and characteristics that are worthy of high quality work.  A focal point, much similar to the first Impressionists who often painted the Seine Basin near Argenteuil in France, or Monet painting his own garden in a final series of work.  Krug Park has much to choose and from many angles.  The castle, the lagoon, the trees and the limestone are just a few things that make this place inspiring. 

The pastel painting here depicts the front of the castle on a Spring day.  Placement in the composition was drawn in with vine charcoal.  Local colors are still being filled in the basic shapes.  The castle is a focal point, and has been minor detailed.  I plan to spend less time than usual, painting more loosely.  Enjoy!
