Nice to see your work again Mick - this is lovely. I really like the soft autumn colours but see exactly what you mean about the paper. That weave is really in your face isn't it? I have suffered similar problems with some of the pastel papers, but at present I am having a bit of trouble with Fabriano Tela oil paper - it delaminates if it gets wet or if you attempt to apply paint with a bit of a scrubbing motion!

Great colours.... though, I am sure you have looked, what is the other side of the paper like?

Thanks for the visits, Julie, and Sylvia. Not heard of that paper Julie, but I prefer to work on Belle Arte gessoed wood panels. Sylvia, this is card, like mounting board really, I never used to like Canson Meine-tintes years ago, so I used the back; however, with this I fell into the trap of foolishly thinking this would have the crap side and the less insistant side. Oh no, the back is plain white with Canson printed across it. best Mick

Lovely patchwork colours and composition.

I hope it's a compliment to say it's instantly recognisable as one of yours on the gallery. I really like your work and your colour palette. Full of admiration as I'm useless at pastels !

Thanks for the visits and comments, Avril, and Beverley. I have always liked patchworks of colours, Avril. Beverley, I do take it as a compliment although I sometimes worry that I'm turning into a predictable, boring, old fart:-) best Mick

Never boring or predictable. Don't know you well enough to comment on the others ! Always love your paintings anyway, and the latest is lovely too.

Fooling around, painting from old 80s holiday photos when we were at Peasenhall, Suffolk. We stayed in an original Tudor cottage, kept on cracking me ed on the low beams. On the outskirts of the village is a lane that goes around the village, from where you can see all the lovely farmland. Stratford Johns, of Z Cars fame used to live here, perhaps in one of those cottages. Unison soft pastels, Faber-Castell Pitt pastel pencils on Canson pastel card ( must remember to put that on my never to buy again list) like DR murano paper it has this abysmal, mechanical, waffle like texture. I have one more sheet, I may coat it with gesso and use it for oil painting. Image size 12"x8".
