Custom Framed & Matted (1992) Artwork 

This striking, original soft pastel painting captures the atmospheric beauty of a misty twilight landscape. Utilizing rich, hand-layered pigments, the artist creates a stunning contrast between the vibrant, glowing hues of a low-lying sunset and the stark, graphic silhouettes of marshland grasses in the foreground. 

Because this is a true original work of art and not a print, the velvety texture of the loose pastel pigment remains beautifully visible on the paper, diffusing light in a way that mass-produced reproductions simply cannot replicate.

This piece features a complete presentation that is entirely ready to hang immediately upon arrival. The artwork is housed within a clean, custom-cut gallery double mat that provides depth and isolates the artwork beautifully. It is enclosed in a classic black-and-gold accent frame that complements both contemporary and mid-century modern home decor. There is some twisting on the frame, shown in photos.

The lower left corner features a vintage, engraved solid brass commemorative plaque reading: "Riverton Community Cancer Ride / 1992 / High Point / Donated by Winnie Mattison-Waddell." 

This plaque adds a unique layer of historical charm and verified authenticity to the piece's 1992 creation.
