That is fantastic Fiona, I love it. Those lovely colours combined with the different shapes and black outlines make a stunning abstract painting.

Oh my goodness Fiona - so unlike your work. I love those macro photos. Can't tell if you have done it justice but your painting looks really interesting.

I would never have guessed but it is a smashing piece.

You have certainly got some pastel going Fiona. The little circles are like fun. It's an interesting piece.

Lol...thanks very much everyone! Val I've been dithering about doing this for about a year, should I use oils, acrylics, watercolour etc etc. The pastels I thought would be interesting. I know Adele, I don't have an imagination where abstracts are concerned can't do them for toffee. Derek the actual photo is so good, you wouldn't guess what it was without a clue. There are many, many more circles (bubbles) all different shapes and sizes......you know me and my level of patience, I'm renowned for not having very much.

This is like an underwater scene Fiona. Lovely colours.

I like it very much Fiona. I also like your courage in coming out of a comfort zone. You are an eclectic artist. I looked through all your uploads a few weeks ago and realised that. One that especially stood out for me was the beach scene you did with your husband fishing. Let Dali free us up.

Fiona, this is so good!

Wow ! Bring back the 60s lol, I have to admire you Fiona you really do go at things with all guns blazing, this is so intricate it just constantly moves your eyes round it, a little bit like crazy Kalidascopes , nice one.

Gorgeous abstract and beautiful colours Fiona. Just shows what can be done with pastels and skill.

cor! lovely colours ,shapes and marks well done Fiona

Thanks very much Gudrun, Sarah, Michael...perhaps it was your Dali quote that did it, I'm never going to be perfect so why not have a bit of fun! Bob and Malcolm.....that's exactly whay was going through my mind whilst doing this....crazy!lol Thank you both.

Thank you Syd, David, Helen very much. Helen wouldn't it put you off your food, it would me!lol

WOW Groovy Man !!! Fiona this is absolutely brilliant !!

Oh wow Fiona, this is super. I don't usually like much in the way of abstract but I do like this, the colours blend so well with each other. Well done!

Lovely piece with superb colours Fiona. Yes, it does look like an underwater scene.

Great idea Fiona, it's made a brilliant design, well done for experimenting and trying new ideas.

Once again thank you Donna, Margaret, Henry and Alan for your comments.

Pastel on Canson...thanks to Pam MacKenzie for the ref photo. Pam takes the most wonderful macro photo's which look like contemporary abstract art. This is a macro shot of condensation on the inside of a water bottle. The photo is brilliant and I haven't done it justice at all. Thanks Pam!
