        Hi, folks. It’s been a while. I thought I would post a little plein aire I had in a show recently. It’s Caran d’Ache Neopastel on 9″ x 12″ Strathmore Pastel Paper.

        I drew (painted) it in about five hours at a reclaimed strip mine that is now a fish and wildlife area. I touched it up for a half-hour or so in the studio.

        Constructive criticism is always appreciated!

        Cheers,

        Herb

        Beautiful! Love the different shades of green/yellow you have achieved in the foliage.

            It is a beauty. Your grasses are terrific and I really like your trees as well as the spacious feel.

            The lovely frame definitely complements your work!

                Well done Herb. I love it. Composition is perfect and I get a good sense of actually being there.

                    Beautiful work, Herb! Five hours of plein air sounds challenging. This composition is solid, your sloping tree lines are perfect. I agree with the others about your beautiful grasses, so colorful and lush. Your clouds make me think of Monet.

                    Terrific job. Your choice of frame is spot on – very strong.

                        Wow, there is nothing to criticize, it’s so beautiful! Realism here :thumbsup:
                        Very natural-looking landscape and harmonious palette. Great job!
