Recently I sold the last available original in my rock and water series, "Crescendo". Its new home is in Washington State.
Clearly this series has a wider appeal than my flowers so I will continue with colorful riverbeds.
The first one of the two artworks I just started is a large commission, a 24" x 48" canvas.
Below you can see a faint outline. I will show only cropped progress images and allow my collector to see the finished work first.
The second artwork I recently started is a medium size canvas, 12" x 24". This riverbed is very intriguing to me; it's moodier and more abstract than my previous ones, showing plenty of water movement and unusual reflections.
Below you can see a photo of the initial outline and another one with some progress.
Both canvases are primed with Art Spectrum Pastel and Multimedia Primer (Colourfix) and I will be using a combination of Neocolors, oil pastels and colored pencils on the Icarus board.
Stay tuned for progress photos.

You are so right to continue the theme! The flowers are gorgeous, but the rocks and water are truly unique!

Thank you for sharing the photos of your art development! This one looks like the rocks we saw last weekend in the flowing stream in Palm Canyon in the Anza Borrego Desert.
