Cattails

                                        Cattails     5x7      Pastel    
                                                                                       

There's a place that I paint every now and then
that has the most beautiful cattails as far as your
eye can see. I check their progress when I'm
passing by, to see how the present crop is growing
and where they are in their season. 
 I love their brown velvet color against the fluffy white tops.
I used Terry Ludwig pastels for this painting, they are some of my favorites.
I also tried the "dusting" technique, which worked great here!
You can see it on the Cattails that are in front.

Thanks for looking!
