On the road again....

I have just finished another pastel in my road series. Here is the finished version. Below that, you can see the progression. I think it's pretty much self-explanatory. If not, you may comment any questions below. Thanks for looking!








And, Voila!

    This is a great way to use a blog. I hope the next step is a stop motion video of your creative process.

    I had the privilege of seeing this one this summer as it was being painted. Thing about Elenka is... she has 15 million things going on and she's painting on the porch too!!
    Elenka, Bravo!

    Now, Relax and have a Cosmo, will ya?
    love,

    Oh, Elenka, you really evoke the sense of danger and determination with this painting. Road conditions like this could go either way, wet or ice, and you leave us on that knife edge, not knowing how the journey will end for these travelers. The post itself is excellent. I loved getting a glimpse of your process.

    Love it! The lights reflecting on the road look so real. Thanks for showing the progress of your work. I've never used chalks, but would love to try it some time. Do you sell your art and if so where?

    So interesting to see what an amazing piece you were able to create from the few basic strokes you started off with. I am in awe!

    Elenka, how exciting to find your blog! I thoroughly enjoyed looking through it. I've seen many pastels, but never one like this. It's as though the light is really coming from your painting. It's wonderful!

    Outstanding!!

    I also liked it the one step before viola! Kinda fun to see a picture that is just missing a few details. I might buy one like that to hang up for interest.

    Elenka, I am so glad I found your blog. What a great pastel. Love how the cars are backlit. The road looks a bit slick but that is New England for you. Thanks so much for leaving a comment on my blog.
