Only the letter "O" remained on the Domino Sugar Sign in Baltimore, MD as this pastel painting was created en plein air. It was a breezy day in March as the winds blew across the Inner Harbor. The sun was shining and lovely shades of blue reflected off the water. "O Say Can You See" was created in March of 2020. This is a pastel painting created in plein air by Collin Cessna. A mixture of pan pastels and hard pastels were used to create this piece.

In late October 2021, I set up my easel below the Natty Boh Tower in Canton, MD and painted this scene using a mixture of soft and hard pastels on sand paper. Prints are now available of this painting on my Etsy shop/ Etsy.com/shop/CollinCessnaArtwork Thank you and have a great day, Collin Cessna IG @collin_cessna_artwork www.collincessnaartwork.com

On September 18th 2021, I entered the Maryland Center for the Arts Quickdraw competition and painted this landscape in Havre de Grace, MD. The sun was rising over the water and trains passed by on the bridge as I painted this scene with pastels. The painting placed second in the Maryland Center for the Arts Quickdraw competition. Prints are now available of this painting in my Etsy Shop. Etsy.com/shop/CollinCessnaArtwork

I sat on the edge of Fort Armistead Park and completed this painting of the Key Bridge in July of 2021. I wanted to capture this moment in time and share it with you. This is a 16"x 20" Acrylic on canvas painting.
