I love the energy, colour (of course), movement and sense of fun this lovely painting converts Carole; it communicates a person who would be lovely to meet; Love and God bless xxx

It’s good to be back in Spain Heather but a bit too hot for comfort at the moment. Hoping it will cool down soon😍😍

Another good oil pastel Carole. I especially like the smile and the way you have done the glasses.

Thank you so much Shaun £ Shekinah for your kind comments. Hope all is well with you in Cyprus now Shaun. Have just come out to Spain and had a rather tumultuous week but all is well now.

Beautiful portrait Carole! Love the lights & shades and the way you have mastered this!!

Bit late, but just viewed this, Carole. Lovely. And I'm envious, because I've got oil pastels, but have never got the hang of them. But, Pastelmat? Now, I've tried ordinary pastels on that surface, and I just gave up. So perhaps that surface, and oil pastels? Who knows, a new beginning... ;o)

Sorry haven’t been able to comment for a while, as I am now in Spain. Had some heavy storms and no internet for 4 days. Back to normal now. Did this in oil pastels on pastelmat paper. A good surface to work on but quite tricky moving the paint about and details are problematic. Enjoyed the experience and great that there’s no dust and smudging. The colours are a bit brash but it’s all very experimental. 12” x 16”.
