Dawncolored pencil on pastel board
8 x 10 inches

I believe this is now finished. I actually completed working on it last night but was too pooped to scan and post. Must be one of the quickest colored pencil drawings of this size I have done to date. I feel more energized about my work now. I do think all that experimentation with various media these past few months has paid off in that I approached this piece with a clearer objective of what I wanted to do and how I would accomplish that. The only major change I made from what I started with was to change the title of this piece. It is 'dawn' here, not 'before dawn' as I had previously had it titled. Oh well. I can be known to be indecisive at times.

This is stunning. I have been watching you work through this on your blog, and I thought it was a photo the first time I saw it. You're extremely talented!
This is just absolutely spectacular! The water is actually moving, slowly and rhythmically, right in front on me. The colors are perfect too.
This is gorgeous! The colors work so well together that it actually looks like a photo.
