Shallow's End, 12x12

"Shallows End" 12x12" Pastel on sanded paper

Looking back a few entries ago, a painting sat on my easel during a demo. Waiting to be finished, I came back to my studio to finish the smaller details. For me, as I'm sure it goes for many other artists, the final marks are for a more intimate time alone with the piece. I'm loving the square format, as I have been working on that format for nearly a year now. I love how stable and geometric it is with such an organic subject.
