A pastel painting that captures the serene beauty of a walk along the old Gatehouse road leading to Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York. I employed a variety of soft and hard pastels, beginning with a complementary color underpainting technique taught in a class with Sue DeSanna at the Woodstock School of Art. The painting depicts the scenic pathway flanked by lush greenery and towering trees, with the Shawangunk Mts in the distance, inviting viewers to embark on a tranquil stroll through nature's embrace. This beloved walk is a favorite destination to share with out-of-town friends and relatives, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
