The Meadow by Brian Parnell

I'm not sure why you think pastels are not for you Brian when you can produce something as lovely as this. I really like it. Well done. I've not yet been brave enough even to try pastels!!

Carol has said just what I was thinking Brian......I think it's a very successful pastel, in fact I'm envious of your ability to get depth into your landscape, where I fail to do. I love the foreground mix of strokes to represent rough grasses and the colour you've chosen to use....it's lively and loose and damn good!

Thanks Carol and Fiona.

Certainly keep persevering with your pastels, this is a lovely painting, I'm sure you have more in you.
