This is my first posting so I would like to start with a pastel painting which I was very pleased with. It was completed in a mini workshop last July.  The painting is a view of Lake Pueblo in Colorado. We were there in May of 2007 for my niece's high school graduation. We spent a beautiful day on the water playing with my brother-in-law's catamaran. This painting came out of one of many photos taken that day. The image area is 8.5" by 10.5" and it is matted and framed in a hand made 12"x 16" cherry frame by Ray's Woodworking. It is available for sale at $ 125.00. Please let me know if you are interested. This and other pieces can be seen and purchased at www.jfrederickart.etsy.com

Please let me know what you think. I'm looking for constructive criticism. Thank you for taking the time to look. More to come soon.
