Absolutely delightful Fiona enjoy the tea

Lovely. A standard to aim for with my pastels.

It was delicious Dennis, very decadent. Brian, you are already achieving a higher standard than this, keep doing what it is you are doing. Thank you both very much for you comments.

This has a lovely bright summery feel to it Fiona!

Thats lovely Fiona . I love the colours. well done.

Thank you Keith, the sun was doing a ..... now you see me now you don't act.... so not very accurate on the patches of sunshine front, I'm afraid. Thank you very much Syd, that's very kind of you.

A beautiful bright pastel Fiona,, I have not been on for a while, but I can see your pastel works are lovely.

This is very bright and colourful Fiona, love it!

Lovely feel to this scene.

Love the colours & spontaneity Fiona :)

Nicely done Fiona, it has a very rich feel about it, I must admit pastels are not something I have ever really come to terms with. A smashing little sketch.

Delightful little sketch Fiona, must get my pastels out again, it's such a lovely fresh medium.

Hope you enjoyed your afternoon tea. This is rather beautiful.

Wonderful matching colours, Fiona.

Good, well placed, spontaneous mark making all comes together well here Fiona. It's a good sketch.

Lovely, summery pastel Fiona.

David, Mia, Sandra, Sylvia....thank very much!

Thank you Malcolm. I've surprised myself how I've taken to pastels, I do enjoy using them especially for quick sketchy stuff. Alan if you post your pastel work it will only make me throw mine in the bin! Thank you darling! Afternoon tea was delightful Gudrun, heavy on the carbs though. I'm detoxing on water and fruit today....is it worth it I ask myself....YES! Thanks! Thank you Cesare, very much. I didn't have much time Louise and I just jumped from one area of the paper to another dropping marks and colour in. It didn't actually make sense or have any substance to be honest, but it doesn't look as bad when viewed from a distance, it seems to gel together as a woodland path. Hope so anyway! Thank you. Many thanks Margaret, I tried to make it bright, even though the sun kept hiding!

Love the Spring green, a lovely pastel with bright blue glimpses of sky Fiona.

An excellent study Fiona, I can walk into the forest here!

Carole, Satu....thank you both very much for your comments.

This is fabulous, Fiona! I love how the economy of your marks produced such depth in the piece. And love that gorgeous palette too.
