I painted this pastel over a pastel that didn't work out...I just rubbed off as much loose pastel as I could and flipped it over so the old sky was the foreground and just started painting the beautiful fall aspens. When I got down to the foreground, covering up some of the blue with grasses and bushes, I caught myself - I was covering up a complimentary color scheme that would be great for this painting! So, I made the foreground snow!
