Vallecito Morning

Years ago, we visited Vallecito Reservoir in Colorado several times and took many pictures. One early morning, as my husband fished, I snapped the rising cloud as it lifted off the water and out of the valley.

A first painting on sanded paper. I enjoyed the way the sanded paper held the pastel and had little dusting like on the pastel papers. However, I had to get used to not blending so much with my fingers.
