Absolutely fantastic painting, filled of colours and details in spite of the small scale. A masterwork, Robert.

Superb picture.

Another masterwork Robert superb colour and depth

Fabulous - the size of the image is actually quite big by the standards of some of us, restricted by space, but this would be magnificent - not that it isn&#39;t already - on a really big surface. I would draw people&#39;s attention to the way you&#39;ve shown the sides of the road - very rarely is there a simple sweep of grass or other vegetation on which the road is just imposed as a simple line: there&#39;s vegetation, shading, you have to imagine yourself being on that road and think how it would look to you then (which many don&#39;t).<br /><br />But that&#39;s a mere detail, the important thing about this is the overall impression of a fantastic scene - a strong painting of a demanding subject. You really could gaze at this for hours and keep finding new things in it.

Striking pastel work Robert.

Thanks for the comments folks! Love the engagement - fab to share and it&#39;s something we can all benefit and learn from in many positive ways. Cheers!

Pastel on Canson Mi-Teintes 'Touch 350gsm pastel 'paper' (colour black). Started outdoors then later finished in the studio. Working from photos alone just doesn't give you the scale of the place. Its a small one at this stage 20.5 x 18 inches.
