This is an amazing work, Carole, with a medium that I find very difficult!

Super work Carole and reminds me I must brush the dust off my own oil pastels

Thank you so much Eilidh, Cesare, heather, John and Frank for your encouraging comments, especially as I am nervous about painting in such a different way. I find oil pastels a forgiving medium, in this respect.

Great to capture a feeling, which this does, Carole.

A vibrant piece, in a challenging medium - I'm enjoying those occasional pops of colour which make the whole thing dance.

Definitely captured the feel of the scorched countryside with this great palette. Oil pastels defeat me. All the best with your eyes I can totally empathise.

Walking in the countryside just now, is a real treat. The warmth of the sun making the fields and trees glow. Took photos on my walk and painted this scene when I got home. It’s a diversion of my usual style because of eye problems but I did enjoy painting this in a loose style. Oil pastels on canvas board, 12” x 10”.
