New from the Studio!

"Rural Skies" by Gretha Lindwood, 9"x18" pastel painting. Painting the clouds was a fun yet interesting task with its own set of challenges.

"Countryside Walk" by Gretha Lindwood, 12"x9" pastel painting

There is actually an old painting under this one. The original painting is shown below. I think this revised piece is a vast improvement...what do you think?

This is the painting that I re-worked to come up with a whole new look to become the painting above.
