Fronds

You may notice this is the exact same palette as in a previous post, "Pastel memories / Small Landscape." That's because these were two halves (which were then separately, individually reworked) of one large failed pastel. Cropping is truly key, in my opinion; you can often have a wonderful painting when you realize it's "hiding" inside a larger, failed painting.
