The Standoff aka more Beach Pebbles

Here is a small pastel that I did from a photo I took at the Irving Nature Park last month. There's a beach there with wonderful smooth sand and a plethora of beautiful pebbles of all shapes, sizes, and colours. I tried to make it look as though my initials are written in the sand. Not sure if it worked or not...
The Standoff, 2008 soft pastel, 6 x 6 inches, $40 unframed
Here is a crop of the same painting. I think I prefer this version as I find it more interesting without the upper rock.

More beach pebbles coming soon! :)
