Down By the River

6 x 12 pastel on sanded paper

It's getting a little too hot to stand around in the sun and paint so I headed down to the San Diego River (yes, there's still water in many places) and set up in the wonderful shade to do this little study.
Painting water has always been my nemesis (pretty funny for a Pisces) so I have officially declared this the “Summer of Water”. I’m gonna figure it out if it drowns me. (Ha).
