Composition in Red and Black, acrylic on canvas, 72 x 48"
Twenty-Six, oil, 48 x 72"
Several trips to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, gave her the impetus to get back into painting, using street scenes as subject matter. Adding rural architecture to her repertoire, Pettigrew has been painting barns, grain elevators, sheds and schoolhouses for many years, utilizing clean lines and clear colors. Pettigrew’s current non-representational work is an exploration of positive and negative space and cool color juxtaposition. The challenges are exciting and the possibilities are endless. —
