‘Taos Meadow’ 8×10 pastel ©Karen Margulis
This painting is a second version of a scene from a trip to Taos. For this painting I raised the horizon line so I could show more of the interesting desert plants. I have been painting on Pastelmat which is an interesting surface. It feels soft and velvety but it holds a lot of pastel. You can read more about my experience with Pastelmat on my daily painting blog ‘Painting my World’.
