Mount St Helens

Another pastel work created from a reference photo from my trip out to Washington, this time the subject is Mount St Helens. 

"Mount St Helens" Pastel, 9" x 12"

Visiting Mount St Helens is a wonderful and fascinating reminder of the awesome power of nature.  So much has been learned about the nature of volcanoes by studying the activity there...humbling gratitude given to those who sacrificed their lives in the 1980 eruption in the pursuit of that study.

The support is illustration board covered with a few coats of Art Spectrum Colourfix primer in burgundy.  It's been a long time since I did a landscape!
