Bonfire Night by Fiona Phipps

Indeed Fiona, you've done the whole scene very well, people and all....

Simple loose and effective pastel. Love it Fiona.

Thanks Jim....I don't do figures and as you see there's a reason why...lol Brian, thank you very much.

Oh wow. That's wonderful fire and smoke Fiona. I really like your little figures. Notice the absence of figures in my work !

That's very nice Fiona

Dramatic and very effective Fiona, nice one.

Wow that's a big bonfire Fiona, I love the colours in it. Your figures are great, you see we all know they are figures even though they aren't detailed. Lovely work.

A great depiction well painted

Very effective Fiona.

I know what you mean Diana, I shy away from adding figures.....thank you. Thanks Dennis. Malcolm, where have you been.....thank you very much! X I got carried away Margaret, I enjoyed doing the fire and smoke...thanks very much. Thanks Michael!

Your figures are good Fiona as is the pastel work. It isn't overworked, just enough :)

Great fire, where are the chestnuts? Fiona

Marvelous Fiona and the people well done

The figures are great...though I think someone should be considering calling the fire brigade,

Yes, I'd be petrified!!!! Great effect though. Bonfire feels hot from here.

Just the right paper for this Fiona. It's a great scene, magnificent fire.

So realistic, and the figures are very good Fiona!

Brilliant Fiona! :)

Lovely Fiona, I think you have done well on the way you have done the figures and that bonfire looks brilliant

Many thanks for your lovely comments everyone, appreciate you taking the time to have a look.

New for you and very well painted, Fiona.

Works beautifully, Fiona. I really like this.

Thank you very much Peter and Cesare.

Fantastic, that bonfire is certainly roaring, I like your suggestion of people, it really works.

Thank you Anjanna!
