I can imagine it was difficult on a rough surface but you’ve achieved a beautiful sky.

Many thanks Dennis, Faye and Romila for such lovely comments. Having difficulty in leaving comments on recent work as I’m in Spain with a very poor internet service. Thank you Heather, Christine and Andrew for always being so supportive and encouraging. It is so heartwarming to receive such kind comments. There has been some lovely postings recently that I have been unable to comment upon, so please forgive me for my absence of contributions.

A lovely fresh seaside feeling, Carole- with the birds wheeling over the surf!

A lovely result Carole, the surface has added to the painting I think, especially the waves.

It was looking at your pastel paintings that inspired me to have a go with the pastels by the way Carole!😀

Thank you so much for such lovely words. Can’t tell you how much they mean to me.such lovely postings from you all and I haven’t been able to comment on them because of the terrible internet service here, in Spain. Many thanks toDenise, Ann, Karen, Thalia, Shaun, Paul, Fiona and Anne. KAREN This is such a good site for sharing knowledge as I was inspired to use oil pastels by Marjorie Firth. You can see her work on this site, most inspirational Karen.

Attempted this Oil pastel on a rather rough surfaced canvas board and found it difficult because of the lumps an bumps on the board. It was a lot of fun though and I enjoyed the process, although the result is a bit basic. With a smoother surface I could have been more adventurous. 10” x 12
