Snail

Snail and pansies, after erasing a good portion of the work, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper.
Left, after a day of work, looking too much like a cartoon so I removed a lot of the background. Still not incredibly happy with it, but here is the effort.

First Time in the Garden
Thursday, February 9th, 2023
First Time in the Garden, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. The images below are three phases of the work in progress. I liked the garden details but chose to blur some of them at the edges in order to keep the emphasis on the chick.

North Saskatchewan River
Monday, July 25th, 2022
After The Rain, North Saskatchewan River and Canola fields near the Petrofka Bridge and Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan.
18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, 27H x 33W” framed size.
Driving north to the Petrofka Bridge, about 60 km from Saskatoon, the land is completely flat. The occasional hills in this area are anomalies, partially created by the North Saskatchewan River cutting through canola farmlands. The river is glacier-fed, running through Edmonton AB, joining with the South Saskatchewan River, and eventually emptying into Hudson’s Bay 1287 kms (800 miles) away.
