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.

“Granite Grandeur” 12” x 16” Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry
“Granite
Grandeur”
12” x 16” Original Pastel Painting
by Colorado Artist Margretta S.
Perry
$275.00...+ Shipping
This is an award-winning piece that
is soon to be shown at the library at Front Range Community College in the “Art
from the Heart” show sponsored by the Paletteers Art Club, Inc. The painting
will be for sale at the show.
“Granite Grandeur” is a scene from
the Snowy Range Mountains in southern Wyoming. The lovely glacial lakes sit at
the bottom of tall granite peaks with glaciers nestled in their crags. The
roads across Snowy Range in the Medicine Bow National Forest are all closed
during the winter which gives you an idea of the weather issues…
I used Wallis sanded paper as the
ground and a mixture 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.
I will accept landscape commissions if you have a favorite
scene. Prices vary by size.

for purchasing details at smyliemp@gmail.com

“Children’s Moon” 5” x 7” Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Pastel Artist Margretta S. Perry
“Children’s Moon”
5” x 7”
Original Pastel Painting
by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry
$125.00 plus shipping
I used Wallis sanded paper as the
ground and a mix of soft pastels. I took the reference photo for this painting
from my north patio early one morning looking west over the Rockies. I don’t
always have my pastels handy when a beautiful scene presents itself, so photos
serve me well.
I was captivated by the moon still
appearing in the morning sky. The colors were soft and inviting, and I wanted
to capture the feel of that. When the painting was finished, I struggled with a
name for the painting (one of my more difficult tasks). I decided to do a
little research about the moon appearing in the morning. I found that this was
called the “children’s moon.” Because
children often go to bed before moonrise at night, they don’t get to see it
then. This morning appearance is the moon that the children get to see when
they awaken. I was captivated by the story and decided on the name! I hope you
like it.
