As I said in my previous post, I'm trying to push the way I use shape and form in my work. So here are some plein air pastels where I attempted to let go of what I was seeing and tried to paint what the place felt like. At the same time I was trying to find ways to simplify and push the forms. This was much more difficult then I expected, it was also more fun then I expected. I had to fight my own artistic habits every step of the way.
Enjoy, and I encourage any critiques.

Very good color work!Pastel is a very good practice to sketching color! Nice
Brilliant stuff Noah! I can definitely see you trying to push the shapes, and the compositions really help that too I think :)
Were these done with soft or hard pastel?
Oh my gosh...proportions!!
These ROCK Noah! Keep going!
Let's do this again!
That first one has great motion in it... feels kind of like a stormy or windy day.
I like the one with the shadow on the slope, with the people, too... it gets the drop in the ground without really describing it..?
I agree with Emma, the first one is really dynamic and has that huricane/tornado feel to.
I am really enjoying the pastel plein airs with the very stylized shapes.....inspiring
