This is an historic area where the Apaches lived in Texas on the North San Gabriel River and used this river crossing. The large flat rock was a very interesting feature in the super reflective water which was very clear although the river was low.
I was more pleased with this effort than the other two. Again mounted wallis paper and Sennelier & Rembrandt pastels with a watercolor underpainting. The difficulty that I encountered in my paintings is that I did the underpaintings in the morning light then came back and started on the pastel work in the early afternoon and the light had changed making it very difficult to paint on location - so, lesson learned there.
And plein air painting is a challenge for me - about 40* and very windy in the morning then about 73*, still windy and buggy in the afternoon. Not terribly pleasant painting to me but others in our group just loved it!
