Chaco #4: Doorways 02
12x9 inches
pastel on black Strathmore
Another view from inside Pueblo Bonita looking through one of the rectangular doorways and across to another. Interestingly, there are steps that lead to each doorway. The row of wooden beam ends protruding from the wall above the door are all that remain of the support for the second story floor of this pueblo.
For this pastel painting, I relied on scumbling of colors to achieve the lighter values within the second room, which has much more reflected light.

Wonderful - love ether red and the door within a door!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen - I really like the colors in this one.
ReplyDeleteI cannot say enough good about this one. The colorist idea of a warm shadow, and a sun-bleached blue gray wall is tremendous.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Casey - coming from one who renders colors so well ("effortlessly", to my mind), that means a lot.
ReplyDeleteReally good Sonya!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo here.
ReplyDeleteHello, moon.
Thanks, Jala - they're one of my favorite combos so far. Yay, moon!
