Margaret Bagshaw is known for an abstract style that draws from landscape through color, structure, and restraint rather than direct representation. In this pastel work, red, white, black, and orange tones are layered in shifting fields, creating a composition that feels both grounded and expansive. Subtle variations in mark and density suggest movement, horizon, atmosphere and figure while maintaining a quiet, disciplined surface.

The drawing is presented in a hand-carved wooden frame made by the artist’s husband who was a master woodworker, a detail that reflects the care and craft surrounding the work without overtaking it. Together, image and frame underscore Bagshaw’s measured approach to abstraction—one rooted in place, balance, and a deep engagement with material and form.
