Pastel Landscape Work-in-progress by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry
Pastel Painting in Progress
by
Margretta S. Perry
This pastel painting is definitely a work in progress. This is probably the 4th or 5th day of work. There are pieces of it that are really working well, and others I have barely addressed yet. It is one of the largest pastel paintings I've worked on. The size is intimidating, not because of the actual size of the painting, but because of the WEIGHT of the finished work when framed with glass. I usually paint smaller pieces because they are easier to pack up, deliver to shows, and carry to venues. We'll see how this works out...
I've just picked up some very deep colors in pastel--the deepest blue and green I could find, a light turquoise with which to finish these amazing Colorado skies, and a couple of those delicious spring greens. I also use a deep 'Merlot' color in my Terry Ludwig pastels which will add the darkest values yet in the foliage. Keep watching to see how this progresses.

“Blowing and Drifting…” 9-12” Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry
“Blowing and
Drifting…”
9"x12” Original Pastel Painting
by Colorado Artist
Margretta S. Perry
$225.00...+ Shipping
This pastel painting is a painting of
memory and a little bit of fiction. It is an impression piece, I suppose. While
growing up in Montana and Wyoming (and a host of other places which are not
important right now) the weather forecast was often, “blowing and drifting snow”.
If you’ve spent any winter time in the windy plains north of the Rockies, you’ll
know what I mean. You might not be having falling snow at the time, but the ground
blizzards can be ferocious and deadly. I remember riding many times with my
family and having everyone at a car window calling out the white, (can you
believe it???) center lines on the highway or the edges of the barrow pit and
mile markers on the other side so that whoever was driving would know where he
or she was on the road. So, when I painted this piece, I wanted to capture the
isolation of the ranch, the mountains in the background, and the effects of the
ground blizzard, reshaping the landscape by the minute. These were cold winter
days which were miserable outside, but warm and cozy when you went into the
house.
I used Wallis sanded paper as the
ground and a mix of soft pastels. This painting is matted and framed out to a 12
x 16 size, ready for hanging. Although, if purchased matted but unframed, the
shipping would be less but will need to be framed under glass.

favorites. The photo was taken by my daughter-in-law and passed on to me. I
loved the complementary color scheme and the brilliance of the light. I hope
you like it!

unframed, the shipping would be less and will fit in a standard-sized frame.

Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry
$125.00...+ Shipping
I used Wallis sanded paper as the
ground and a mix of soft pastels. I love to try to capture the variations of
light in the evening and early morning. The ducks gave ripples to the water
which caught various reflections. The sun is red reflecting through the
trees…what an enjoyable little painting to do.
