"Morning on the Trail" Bicycle Rail Trail Painting
An original 12x24" plein air pastel painting. Received a Merit Award at the 2026 Carmel on Canvas plein air paint-out.
Framed option will be framed in a black frame, with spacers and premium Museum glass, wired and ready to hang. Unframed painting will be shipped protected with a layer of glassine paper between two rigid boards.
Original artwork by Catherine LaPointe Vollmer. Colors may vary from monitor to monitor.
Framing tips for pastels:
Frame behind glass, not acrylic or polystyrene. The static from plastic-type glazing will pull the pastel dust away from the paper.
Pastels must not touch the glass, or they will smear. Use a mat or framing spacer.
If matting, put some foam core or a spacer between the painting and the mat. This will prevent pastel dust from falling in front of the mat, discoloring it.
