I don’t know if I want to be a bee… but I do wonder what life would be like if there were no choices. Things would simply be: The Way They Are. There would be no questions and there would no answers. Just work. Just live. Carry on. It could be nice; this human life is a lot.


• Original pastel painting by Mary Pow, 2022

• Size: 9" x 12"

• Outside frame dimensions: 14" x 17"

• Orientation: vertical

• Medium: soft pastel

• Framed with UltraVue® UV70 anti-reflective glass

• Framed in an all wood, wide black-brown "plein air" frame.


THIS PAINTING IS FRAMED

Since pastels must be framed under glass - and shipping pastels with glass is extremely challenging - this painting needs to be picked up in person at my studio. If you live within the Twin Cities metro area, I may be able to deliver to your door. Contact me about delivery.


Would you like to see the framed painting in person? You are welcome to visit the studio! Contact me about setting up an appointment or come during open studio hours.


A NOTE ABOUT PASTEL

Unlike most types of painting, pastel is a dry medium. It is pure powdered pigment in the form of a stick, allowing it to have a close association with drawing.
