Teton Valley, Plein Air Pastel

Last September eight women painters from Texas spent a week painting plein air in the Tetons. I was the only one using pastel. It is a great medium for plein air. No mess! This painting shows the Tetons in the distance. I was actually in Idaho. Please visit my website for more images of the trip.

This painting was a donation in an auction to raise money for teacher scholarships. The cat belongs to a friend. I have just a little more work to do on the rug. I am mainly a landscape artist but I enjoy doing animals also. If you would like a portrait of your pet you may contact me on my website.
