A summer evening on the river provided inspiration for a series of pastel paintings. This piece focuses on an area that first caught my attention: distinctive ripples around wispy marsh grass bathed in late-day light. I did a pastel underpainting and added multiple layers of soft pastel to give depth to the water and marsh grasses.
