Having fun is what it's all about. This is like a stick of rock, delicious.

Aha that explains the title Mick, which seemed at first glance to have nothing to do with your pastel, but now it becomes clear and I know what you mean, can't imagine how the Ray Bradbury story went with a title like 'something wicked this way comes', probably says more about what was going on in your thought process, but anyway, this is a lovely bright work, just the fact that you use pastel in your landscapes gets my interest, at the moment I am doing pet portraits with the occasional person portrait, so the effort that goes into full landscapes always gets me going! I have fond memories of Ray Bradbury's creepy stories as well, so works all round for me!

I drifted through the living room this evening. the missus had the tv on and I cought a glimpse of an image on the screen. It sort of looked like a fun fair, or circus, it was only a flash. It reminded me of the late, great, Ray Bradbury's story, Something Wicked This Way Comes, so I scribbled this down on a scrap. Not that there is anything wicked or sinister about this little bit of nonsense, with the flashed image it just gave me the impetus and a title. Rowney soft pastels, Derwent tinted charcoal on Sennelier pastel card, light grey, original image size 4"x4".
