Winter down by the river

Lovely colours Sue.

A rainbow of colours Sue, beautiful.

Thank you Linda and Margaret, I must do more pastels this year!

Lovely pastel work and equally good colours Sue.

That foreground is so effective Sue.

Beautiful pastel painting

Beautiful colours and marks Sue.

Lovely, Sue!

Thank you all for encouraging moments, this is my first pastel for a while, I vow to do more!

I've just started having a go with pastels Sue, this is beautiful.

I love the freedom of this lovely painting Sue

Very nice pastel work Sue, I like the variety of marks and textures you have created.

Beautiful, love the colours and composition.

I think this is beautiful Sue. Love everything about it.

I just love this. The warm colours, the textures - delightful. From another pastellist few and far between we are.

Excellent painting - well done

Thank you all and especially Glenda, from one pastellist to another. I gave a demonstration and workshop in pastel last night trying to encourage more to take it up.

I really like this, Sue. It is beautifully atmospheric with the yellow and orange of the reeds perfectly balanced by the smoky blue-grey silhouette of the distant trees and building.

Thank you very much Colin.
