Sailboat on Newport Bay by the Balboa Pavilion

This painting is on Colourfix paper; I used PanPastels and a variety of soft pastels and pastel pencils.
Picture a soft ocean breeze stirring your hair, carrying that wonderful briny scent; the sun is setting and gilding the edges of sails, topmasts, and buildings. The sky is mysterious and velvet while the water gently laps against the floating vessels. Yes, it is a balmy evening with a hint of upcoming storm at Newport Beach.
