Very dramatic Carole - I’m thinking of smugglers….You do really well with your oil pastels, I haven’t had mine out for ages.

Blimey Marjorie, that was quick. Thank you for your generous comment. I’m really beginning to enjoy the benefits of oil pastel. They are so portable and easy to work with in a small space and don’t smudge as easily as chalk pastels.

Very dramatic with such rich colours. Love the breaking waves and the rocks, beautiful!

Many thanks for your inspiring feedback Julie, Romila and Russell. It means a lot to me 🌞🌞🌞

Superb work, those waves are really good.

Superb action in this one Carole lots to like.

So beautifully dramatic, Carole and full of movement - super!

Superb painting, dramatic colours.

Thank you very much Paul, Willie, Anne and Stephen for your lovely comments.

High drama indeed. Love it.

Super good Carole and with a real sense of drama, like the intensity of colours

The painting is full of energy and drama. I can see you poured your heart into it, well done.

Lovely work Carole.👍👍

I was inspired to paint this after a visit to the inner Farne Islands, many years ago and have painted the scene again in oil pastels. Quite a challenge. Oil pastels on Clairfontaine pastelmat paper. 12” X 14”.
