Entrada - Landscape

This painting was painted for a pastel challenge sponsored by the Pastel Journal.  You can enter the challenge on my regular blog until September 12, 2011.  You will receive a copy of the Pastel Journal and be entered to win Maggie Price's new book, Painting Sunlight and Shadow in Pastel, by commenting or submitting a pastel painting.

I love adobe houses and entryways.  This scene in Taos captured my interest and was perfect for the painting of sunlight and shadow.

Entrada, Pastel on Pastelbord, 9 x 12 inches
This is framed in a reddish colored wooden frame with black around the opening, about a 2.5 inch width. It is framed against museum glass.  Free shipping.

Pretty "pastel-y" colors!

Thanks, Joanna. It was interesting to work in lighter values than normal for me.
