Hunting Island Evening, 5x7", Oil pastel over acrylic on paper, ©2012 Lucinda Howe

This week’s painting is another small piece from a recent trip to Hunting Island.  I didn’t want to set up my easel because it was getting dark and it was quite windy on the beach.  So I made a quick drawing on a piece of watercolor paper previously painted with an orange underpainting.  After moving to a sheltered area, I used oil pastels to complete the painting.
