Florida Revisited

Putting finishing touches on plein air pastels.   Done at sunrise I was interested in the atmospheric effects of the light through the clouds, as well as depicting the dazzling sun.




Maybe Rain
Pastel 6 x  8

It's difficult working at sunrise, conditions are changing rapidly and starting in the half-dark makes seeing colors difficult.  Returning to the same location many days in a row is helpful.



Quiet Light
Pastel 5 x 7

I wanted to experiment with showing the afterimage of the sun, as I sometimes see it after looking directly at it.
