Tuscany

Cypress trees and rolling hills make me immediately think of Tuscany.  And......when I think of Tuscany, I think of relaxing, and wine, and lots of pasta.  No wonder I keep coming back to this as a subject for painting.  I used very little color in this one and kept it simple with very little detail.   That's quite a departure from the norm for me but I'm pretty happy with the result.

This is another pastel on Wallis pastel paper.  I really love that surface.  It can hold many layers without the tooth filling up.  It sure eats up the pastels though.
