"What's in the Shed" is a 16" x 20" pastel painting done an Ampersand Pastelbord. This is my favorite surface for pastels. It requires no mounting of a paper to a stable surface. These boards can be placed in the frame directly against the glass with just a minimum piece of tape on all four sides that is an archival artist tape. It is there only to keep the glass from sliding on the pastel surface. I have been framing this way for many years. It is a traditional method of framing pastels when they are not on paper and has been done since the time of the Impressionists and before.
This scene is from a sunflower farm near Conyers Georgia. I painted on location (plein air) at this farm several years ago, but had taken many photos for use in the studio. I never seem to tire of finding a different angle or composition for these photographs to create new artwork either in pastel, oil or acrylic.
Currently it is located at my home studio, but is earmarked to take to one of my galleries in the next month hopefully.
