Snowy Stream

 
Snowy Stream
 
8x8 Pastel $150
 
I took a walk in the woods to capture this scene.  It was the first snow fall and the stream hadn't iced over yet.
 
I used soft pastel on Art Spectrum Colorfix Black Suede. I always thought that pastel on black paper was like Elvis on velvet but I liked the contrast with the snow.

  3. Beautiful. The iced stream is particularly well rendered.
