Onion Creek Hill

I completed my third oil pastel landscape earlier in the week but haven't had the opportunity to post it until today. The image is from my 2007 Spring Break when Jeff Brown and I skylarked around the general Moab area and parks, with this image taken from the Onion Creek area.

The image of this landscape should seem rather familiar since I used it somewhat recently to create one of the first Project-a-Sketch paintings. Although that painting did turn out nicely, I felt that its monochromatic nature didn't quite capture the greatness and contrast of the original photo.
