Ausable River from Stebbins' Porch- work in progress

 

 I'm working on a series based on this view from a great camp in the High Peaks. It's become quite a challenge since there is so much information  to deal with. I'm trying to simplify and bring out the beautiful blues of the river. 16x24 pastel

The school year doesn't allow me to do much painting but things slow down in winter and I can hunker down and work when its dark and cold outside. I've had some time off for Christmas and was able to get into the studio.
