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

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.
