Day 15 Olympia National Park

Following full disclosure principles, I have to admit I didn't create this pastel today because I taught a pastel workshop at Artists Attic-BTW a really fun group of people who produced some amazing pieces. So I didn't have time to create my "Pastel A Day" today, but this piece was created this past week. 
Some of the steps to create the workshop image, "Knob Meadow Evening" are posted in my pastel lessons blog at http://mcdonaldpastellessons.blogspot.com
And if you're reading my facebook page you'll see that my buddy and amazing writer/poet, Tanya Tyler, has composed a couple of poems to accompany some of my drawings, but not this yet. :-)
