Welcome!  Feel free to browse through my collections to see what is for sale.  You'll find the paintings that I have sold in in the Archives.

I've been painting my own original work for about 5 years and really enjoy it.  Under "Art Works" you can browse through 4 categories of paintings: Flower-scapes, Tree-spapes, Marsh-scapes, Land-scapes, and Sunset/Vistas  Each category has many theme-related paintings that I have done over the past few years.

Paintings are matted in a warm, white conservation quality mat to protect the work or it is mounted to foam core.  Either way allows the painting to be put into a frame directly.  Please check the painting dimensions for frame size-most paintings will fit into a standard size frame. The painting will be mailed n a clear protective sleeve and shipped in an envelope with cardboard on both sides to protect it.

Soft pastels  are composed of pigment, water and a smaller amount of chalk or artificial binder.  Pastels have been used by artists since the Renaissance, and gained considerable popularity in the 18th century, when a number of notable artists made pastel their primary medium. 

Caring for your pastel painting.  Unlike paint applied on canvas, pastel paintings are more delicate to handle. Yet, despite of their delicacy, pastel art is some of the most brilliant and longest lasting of any medium. If  your painting came in a protective plastic resealable bag, it is best to keep it in the bag until framed.  You may remove the painting by gently taking it out of the bag or cut the bag off to remove it.

 It is important not to touch the surface and to keep it protected under glass for long-term enjoyment.   Pastel paintings can be framed with or without a mat.  Pastel dust can be cleaned gently off the mat with a gum eraser. There is no need to spray a fixative on your painting as that can darken the colors.

 Thanks for your support & with proper care your painting will provide years of enjoyment!  Nancy Medsker
