Like Fan Coral (New Abstract painting in Pastel)

Like Fan Coral, painting by Polly Castor
Like Fan Coral (pastel) by Polly Castor

This is an experimental painting I did having seen some dried seaweed that reminded me of fan coral. This painting reads a little darker when inside; this photo was taken outside, where the painting was done. I’m not sure it has enough variety of marks, or frankly enough interest, but it was delightfully meditative to paint. The value structure is good and the composition is strong, so I thought I’d share it with you to see what you think.

See the entire painting above and close up details of it below.
