Beautifully painted, I love the colours.

I like the effect of the soft pastel over the acrylic. Mucky fingers is all part of the fun!

This method of painting works so well as evidenced in this painting Anthony.

Like the experiment

Lovely and moody.

I love it! Beautiful colours and lovely marks. Well worth the experimentation.

You can do so much with pastels! It was definitely worth the mucky fingers.

If this sounds technical and over-the top arty, well, at least I can say it was fun and well worth the mucky fingers.
