Stonelick Covered Bridge in Clermont County OH is an icon for many. Recently restored, it is a beauty! I spent hours trudging around the bridge, bushwhacking through the waist high scrub, scrambling from rock to rock in the creek-bed and shooting photos from every angle, at different times of the day, over a period of a month. The reference photo used for this piece was taken at 5:00 on a fall afternoon. The sun washed bridge vs. deep shadows cast by the trees as the sun descended, made it interesting as well as a challenge. My client is a covered bridge enthusiast, so every detail, down to the numbered sign, is meticulously rendered. The original measures 20x30" and was painted with various brands of lightfast colored pencils on rag matboard. Fine Art Giclees are available for sale. Contact me for details.
Margi of Pepper Portraits LLC, doesn't always paint portraits.
Here I am with my Rip Van Winkle Creek hanging in CPSA District Chapter 119 Exhibition. We have at least 100 colored pencil works exhibited 
in this beautiful show. Learn how I painted this piece in my artist demonstration for Ann Kullburg's CP Magazine, January 2013 issue.
I don't just paint portraits....
