Sunbeams Above

Oil on hardboard

A wayward little cloud drifted in front of the sun that evening, and did me the favor of shielding my eyes as I drove. The resulting sunbeams reminded me of my Sunday School days when Jesus wanted me for a sunbeam. Do you know that song?  

I hit my studio running this morning and painted a few skies. You'll be seeing them over the course of the next few days while I work on something larger.

Sunbeams

"Sunbeams"
7.5" x 10.5"
Pastel on paper

My path through the hazy pine forest was lit by a swath of sunlight. The sunbeams streaked between trunks and boughs to entice me to a particular spot, right over ... there.  

Pastels were my medium of choice today as I looked at subject matter from a recent trip.

Some of the photos from the sky I've been painting in the last couple of days had faint sunbeams.  My first attempt at them is not too impressive, but I'll work at making sunbeams look like they're supposed to.
