Papalote DosPastel on Pastelbord, 8 x 20 inches
Here is the version I took with artificial light.
Quite a bit of difference, right. I did try to correct this one in Photoshop Elements, but if I made it more blue, then the other colors were not right. In the blue version I lost some of the warmth, but it is by far the closer in color.Hope you like the more blue version as it is closer to the actual painting on the dreary day with some warmth on the tank and grasses in the front. Cloudy days make colors appear more saturated.

Interesting. Not sure which version I like better!
How it's photographed sure does affect the color, doesn't it? I usually try to take several shots in different modes: with and without a flash, auto and indoors. Then I choose the best one. Usually it's best without the flash (no surprise there) and it's a toss up between the auto setting and the indoor setting. Depends on the piece.
Teresa, yes, the camera sees many ways. I am amazed though, that with pastels taken in direct sun I usually don't have to adjust the photo.
Joanna, I like the warm version, too. I may have to do another and warm it up. Make it a sunny day. :)
Amazing - that looks like two totally different paintings. You could always do prints of the warm version, right?
I was looking at your great peppers painting that I have today, and appreciating your very good sense of light and shadow...
Thanks, Regina. I haven't found a good reason for doing prints .. is this it? Ha.
