"Lodi Train Station", pastel

Sorry, I have been so deep in teaching my high school art classes that I have really neglected my blog for the past month. I worked on this a long time for me. It is a 24" X 30" pastel on Canson paper. The scene is in Lodi, Ca. I started it last December and finally finished it about a month ago. AWS has some really good buys on Sennilier Pastels so I finally broke down and got some. They are so buttery to work with. Schminke are even more buttery but...those I really can not afford.....but they are heaven. I have about 12 sticks. WOW!!
