Artist Statement:

Colorado Collection

By Virginia Unseld

For this exhibit I have chosen pieces that reflect the beauty of our state in every season.  I paint en plein air frequently so I could have a whole show of snow paintings but I will spare you that much snow!  I also selected many pieces that might seem familiar to locals. I indicated where each was painted after the title.

Sales of paintings are directly through me so you may contact me at 303-582-5724 or via email at vjunseld@aol.com.  I am offering a 25% discount to locals (Gilpin County or Nederland area) and must add 2.8% sales tax to the amount.

I had intended to include Filled With Memories (Snyder’s Garage in Nederland) in this exhibit but it was juried into the Mile High National Pastel Show at Curtis Art Center in Greenwood Village. That show can be viewed until June 29.

 My primary medium is pastels although I also produce work in watercolor, oils and collage.  The work here is all soft pastels on archival suede board. The paintings are framed with museum glass or AR Glass which provides anti reflection and UV protection. Care instructions for the glass are on the back of each piece.
