The Enchanted Forest

I decided to do 2 pastel paintings to hang vertically over my bed that are larger than I normally work (18x24).  The first one I did over the summer, and I wanted to title it The Enchanted Forest, but then it ended up looking more like The Haunted Forest due to poor color selection for the trees.  So this painting here is actally the 2nd one, and I am much happier with the color choices.  I really need to assess the painting in daylight though before I make a final decision, but I thought I would post it anyway.  This painting took me about 2 hours to complete.  Sometimes it is a welcome break to have a loose composition and painting to work on for a change.
