This jumped out at me as yours, Carole, with those beautiful colours. I can feel the warmth of a sunny day with the light streaming through the window. Beautiful!

The light is lovely Carole and very well painted (do we say painted for pastel?) , a very striking piece.

14” x16” soft pastels and pastel pencils on Clairfontaine pastel paper. Couldn’t resist painting this vase of flowers on my dining table with the light flooding through the window.
