A lovely scene Alan and I would never have guessed this was pastel. I have recently started dabbling with pastels but have a long way to go yet!

Blimey Alan, when I looked quickly at the gallery this morning this was at the top of page one.....can’t believe it’s almost on page four already! At least we can enjoy it over the weekend on the top line. Welcome back, good to see you posting. A very subdued start, but a fabulous pastel.
