“Dawn on the Farm” 11” x 14” Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry






“Dawn on the Farm”  
 11” x 14” 
 Original Pastel Painting
 by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry

SOLD



I used Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels.
This is taken from a scene near Louisville, CO. I painted this a few months ago and wasn’t happy with the lighter values in the painting. I have gone back in and lightened up the painting and it works much better now. I hope you like it!

"Cloud Shadow Vista"” 18” x 24” Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Landscape Artist, Margretta Smylie Perry


"Cloud Shadow Vista"

The Rocky Mountains have enough vistas to keep us painting for the rest of our lives! What gorgeous country! I love the cloud shadows and the interesting patterns they make on the countryside. There is always a variety of colors and textures…I could go on and on… Needless to say, I am in love with this country! I try to take my viewers on a little trip through the painting to experience the landscapes we so often take for granted. Enjoy!!

This painting was selected to appear in the North Metro Art Association annual "Colorado Visions" Show at Westminster City Hall. It is always a pleasure to be in this wonderful art show.

“Sacred Space” 12” x 16” Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Landscape Artist, Margretta Smylie Perry

SOLD


This is a wonderful glimpse into the Rocky Mountain National Park. If you haven’t visited, put it on your bucket list. There is one scene after another which will take your breath away! I struggled with the title for this painting, but I had to find a title that would really give the space meaning.  Thanks to all of those who made suggestions on my Facebook page. I think “Sacred Space” wraps a lot of your suggestions into one. This will be entered into the National Greeley Show next month—keep your fingers crossed that it is selected to be in the show.

"Morning Glory"
5" x 7" Original Pastel Painting
by
Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry

SOLD

I just painted this sweet little picture from a photo I took this summer of the beautiful sunrise from my doorstep. I got it framed yesterday and planned to put it in a local miniature art show coming up in our area. My neighbor saw it and bought it on the spot! I couldn't have found a better home for it! She recognized the view--from her window--so I know it will be appreciated.

"Flash of Sunlight" 13 x 16 Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry





“Flash of Sunlight” 


 13” x 16”   
Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry

SOLD


I used Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels. This is a lovely, rich piece that looks wonderful on the wall. It really catches your eye! 

This painting is matted and framed in a silver, gilt frame, ready for hanging. Although, if purchased matted but unframed, the shipping would be less. It will fit in a standard-sized frame if you choose a matted painting.
