Prince Edward Island

Here's another painting I did for a virtual paintout submission.  Unfortunately, I didn't save the URL of the location which is a requirement for submission.  Oh well...
This is such a pretty island.  I've done 3 paintings of this month's location.  I'll post the third one for my Monday painting.  I'm pretty proud of myself for having an extra painting this week.  This one is a small sketch done with pastels.  This was done on archival mat board that was coated with pumice gel.

This month's location for the virtual paintout is Prince Edward Island in Canada.  When I saw this sky on Google Street view, I wanted to try recreating it with pastels.  I wanted to make the sky the focal point so I didn't do any detail in the foreground.  I didn't do any blending on this.  I tried to give the impression of the clouds' wispiness with texture instead.
