Pastel over watercolor on 300 lb. Arches

Some times when a watercolor goes wrong I turn it into a pastel. Sometimes I plan to do a watercolor underpainting for a pastel. I don't remember which this was.

I am originally from Denton, Texas. We have some land there and return often for visits -- we found four acres with oak trees (it's really not all desert). We'll be moving there fairly soon -- that's why I have so many Dallas/Fort Worth links on the art links page. The art scene there is a whole lot different from small town Decatur. There is actually an art supply store.
