Here's one of the pressing items. I had to get this piece done to send to Wally Grewe in Hamilton, MT for his show 'Fall Classics' at his Ponderosa Art Gallery. It is a pastel done from an oil field study painted while at the OPA National Show in Missoula, MT in 2008.

Lovely and intriguing image!
Beautiful rich color and depth.
Your finishing touches are always masterful.
I find this painting to be one of the
best I've seen in some time.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you Nicole. It was an intriguing and rich place to paint. I'm glad that I had the need to explore it again for this show.
Thanks Dennis. That is very, very nice...I appreciate it.
Hi Marc!.... It's always a pleasure to see your work... and no matter the medium one can always count on an immpeccable design... smack on values and rich colour!
This pastel has all of the above in it... and you create such a real depth of space with your control of vales as they recede!
Beautiful piece Marc!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
Nicely done! I like the way you contrasted that setting sun against dark foliage making it appear even more brighter.
Just stumbled into your blog and what a treat! This is just gorgeous.
I just stared at it for five minutes.. One of the most beautiful landscape paintings I've ever seen.
beautiful...love the colors!
Love the play of light across the trees..
Beautiful pastel, Marc! It's always great to see what you do with those sticks of color.
You have left me with the glow of that sun and richness of the colors.... very nice values. Very enjoyable. Wish I were there!
Hi Bruce... Thank you. I appreciate your always thoughtful comments. Best to you as well...
Thank you Dalibor. I had to use my 'artistic license' on that one. The actual day I sketched it was a pretty drab gray day with just a hint of that sun. Just as you mentioned, I pumped it up a little for a more dramatic effect. Glad you like it.
Hi Deb. Glad to meet you here and happy that you were stumbling around. I am normally more active on this blog but have been away so much since about early May that my time here has been limited. Hope to change that as Autumn rolls into Fall and Winter.
Kan I am very flattered... Thank you.
Thanks Black Bear Cabin... That's an interesting name!
Anonymous... Thank you. :)

JP... I'm happy that it has done that for you. Thank you for your comments.
