Since I have appropriate the kitchen table for my pastel set-up, I've put in more time with them. Here are two versions of a landscape near Deerfield, MA and one from back in Texas. 
Winter Thaw I: Coarse grit on watercolor paper mounted on foam core.

Love it! How did you get that grit on the first one? Really cool.
You can buy gesso with ground up pumice already in it (I bought "coarse") and then paint it onto whatever ground you are going to use: watercolor paper, wood, canvas, etc. On small pieces like this (9 x 12) you have to REALLY simplify the shapes because the details fall into the crevasses!
