High bid $36.00

Status: Sold

An expressive original pastel landscape artwork on board, depicting a peaceful rural valley scene with a small red barn nestled among rolling green fields and tree lines, set against dramatic mountain peaks and a sky filled with layered clouds. The composition captures the changing light across the mountains and fields through vibrant strokes of blue, green, yellow, and white. The work appears to be created using soft pastel, a medium made from finely ground pigments bound into sticks that allow artists to apply rich color directly to the surface. Pastels are valued for their ability to produce luminous color and textured surfaces through layering and blending techniques. Unlike oil or acrylic paint, pastel pigment sits on the surface of the support—often paper or board—creating the distinctive velvety texture seen in landscape works such as this. The piece is mounted in a painted frame and presented without glass, allowing the surface texture and painterly strokes of the pastel medium to remain visible.
