Item Description
This is an original pastel painting by well-known artist Mary Silverwood (1933-2011). Most of Silverwood's landscapes were of the New Mexico desertscape. The work auctioned here is a beautiful scene in our own Sonoma County backyard.
It is framed and ready to hang on your wall. It measures 29"x37"
Item Special Note
Composition and color are the most important aspects of Mary Silverwood's paintings. Silverwood draws upon the shades and tones of nature, but likes to exaggerate them, dramatizing the emotional exuberance that the landscape conveys to her.
Mary Silverwood doesn’t consider herself a sentimental person, and yet to convey the landscape to others, Silverwood injects her feelings into the colors and designs, as well as her responses to what she sees. That takes the image beyond a mere “reproduction” of a landscape and turns it into an idea that flows.
