Ed Mell Pastel Drawings

Ed Mell was a talented artist in multiple mediums. Pastel was an important process for Ed Mell to compose a landscape that lead to creating an oil painting. These drawings reflect his vision and thought process of the  Arizona landscape in his travels with a unique perspective from the ground to an aerial view that few artists could see and capture. 

In keeping with his precise style, he takes the essence of the landscape and builds the mountains, mesas, canyons and clouds with dramatic architectural forms and luminous colors in his original paintings, pastels, stone lithographs and serigraphs.

Ed Mell stated, “I deal with those lasting impressions you have after driving through an area like Monument Valley. You remember basic forms, color and mood. The details are lost, but the image remains. The landscape is too dynamic to interpret realistically; therefore you must resort to exaggeration to capture its immediate power.”
