Pastel painting "Lucinda's Garden 2024 1 - Coneflowers " 8"x 10"

"Lucinda's Garden 1 - Coneflowers" is an original 8"x 10" plein air pastel 2024 drawing of my friend's garden in Lexington, Kentucky. I teach pastel drawing to adults and the garden belongs to one of my students. At least once a year we are invited to paint at her beautiful garden which is overwhelmingly packed with a variety of flowers. This series is my abstracted version of not only what I saw but what I felt while viewing her garden.
