Tropical Paradise

Pastel on PastelMat, approx. 16 X 12 in.
My latest pastel painting -- a waterfall in the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. This is based on a photo I took while visiting my nephew Bryan when he was house-sitting on the Big Island. I tried for a looser approach in this painting. The view is from above the waterfall. This is the first time I have painted on PastelMat with the benefit of a watercolor underpainting.
