Peony View 5.5x11

"Peony View" 5.5x11" Pastel


Here is my work in progress. It looks like a view through a window!


In the element...

Another great day out painting en plein-air at a beautiful peony farm in North Plains, OR. We had 15 artists in all, including Gretha (my painting buddie), Bev, Kathy, Patty, Mary, Phyllis, and of course a few others from our Paint Out Group. This time, I decided to paint sitting, and I found it more relaxing than usual. The only disappointment to sitting while painting is that I can't easily stand back to view my work in progress. In the above shot of me, I'm using my new modified Open M Box which I just love! It carries my pastels with absolutely no breakage! I've put memory foam in it, which is the best thing about it! I may post the modifications some time in the future.

"Sky Over Bend" 3.75x5" Pastel

I made a trip to Central Oregon last summer and this is a view taken from the passenger seat of our car. It was a beautiful blue sky that was wide open, clear, and clean...a view you just don't often see in the city! So, I painted it! I'm offering this little original pastel study framed in a simple, black metal frame with a spacer between the pastel and the Antique White matboard. Shipped the next day to your continental US location. Monitor colors may vary.
