This was the early morning view from our balcony at our time-share on the tourist corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur. I am fortunate to have two locations there that carry my work.

"Gracie's Promise" 

 Non-profit cards from original pastel paintings 

by Colorado Landscape Artist, 

Margretta Smylie Perry

First, the story...last spring I was approached about painting florals to submit as possible cards for the "Gracie's Promise" non-profit organization. I painted my flowers and submitted them to the organization. Low and behold, they were selected to appear on the organization's greeting cards. The original paintings were sold at the Oregon Trails Festival and can be seen at the Platte Valley Bank in Gering, NE. 

Gracie's Promise is an organization which assisted parents of ill or injured children who need on-going care. The fund helps cover expenses not covered by insurance, i.e. gasoline, rooms, food, other travel expenses, outings, etc. The purpose of the cards is to get the word out that this organization is there to assist people in need. They are presented purely on a donation basis, and volunteers do everything from donating the prints, to organizing and placing cards in packets, etc. If you are interested in donating or ordering cards from Gracie's Promise, at www.graciespromise.org.

"In the Pink"

The cards come in packets for Birthdays, Get Well, Sympathy, Thank you, and Blank cards.

"Pokey Posies"

"Pinkie"

"Tulip Talk"

It was such an honor to be able to do this project. Please support the "Gracie's Promise" organization!

This painting just won an Honorable Mention at the Art from the Heart Show at Front Range Community College, College Hill Library, and sponsored by the Paletteers Art Club. I was very excited to have this work recognized. I loved painting the rock faces and had to mentally work through the dark areas on both sides and how much to leave less detailed. I think I finally got the right balance that would lead the viewer's eyes to the rushing texture of the waterfall which pools and then keeps on falling. I hope you like it as much as I do!

I love the soft colors of the Wyoming and Colorado prairies--soft blues and purples of the mountains, the layers of the terrain, and the soft greens, tans, yellows that dominate, and the rich reds, rusts and orange that add the pop to the landscape. So often, we take these scenes for granted and fail to really see the beauty of these little vignettes.
