Monte Verde Lake Path - Pastel, Landscape

Jo painted this pastel view plein air on a beautiful morning. It is lovely to paint the landscape and be in the shade painting with a friend, Sue. It is painted with a watercolor under painting that shows through in spots adding movement and interest to the painting.

Monte Verde Lake Path, 8 x 9 inches, Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper.
This landscape is framed against museum glass. Museum glass offers little reflection, so the painting resembles an oil painting.   It is in a black metal frame. $145.00 Free Shipping.

Thanks, Joanna. It is a pretty place. There were some very interesting reflections, hope to post about them. Buildings quite a ways away reflected, doesn't look real.
