Don’t you love finding quiet pathways where you can wander about and enjoy some down time, especially during the Autumn months. As if on cue, Mother Nature gives us a gift every Fall sprinkling magical colors here and there making nature walks all the more special.
I found such a place that I fell immediately in love with that made for a perfect oil pastel painting. Photographer Roy Simmons, of pmp, took a fantastic shot of a pathway that I used as a reference image. I hope you enjoy my latest ~ Mary

Hi Linda: thank you so much for your comments. I was a bit timid w/the burnt sienna and oranges and then decided to just go with it. Thank you – appreciate hearing from you. Mary

Thank you, your comment is really appreciated. Autumn colors is what drew me to paint the scene.
It is a magical place. I’m floored the way you are able to wield an oil pastel.
Hi Elena, thank you for the kind compliment. It’s a fun medium to work with once you get used to it – artist soft oil pastels are much easier to work with (Senneliers, Holbiens and Neopastels the best). Thanks again! Mary
Mary, it’s absolutely wonderful!!! I LOVE it!!
Hi Calee – thanks so much for your comment!
