Missouri Sunset. 11" x 14". Pastel on Pastel Paper.


My parent's lived in Missouri for 12 years and had great views from their property of old farms and wonderful trees. Working from photographs, I explored the concept of a landscape in pastels while trying to also be more expressive in my work. I especially like this pastel painting - maybe because I like old barns and structures and the rural landscape. The fence with the Black-Eyed Susans is very whimsical to me and brings back childhood memories of carefree summer days spent outside walking, picking flowers, and taking in the summer sun.
