Pastels are so fresh and dynamic. Nice one.

I have just logged on and saw this painting and thought Ooh I like that. I didn't think it was yours Carole. I especially love the way you have used the pastel to great effect. They are so versatile and you are certainly producing different work. I love it.

Very kind of you all, thank you. Not easy for me, but will persevere as spent loads on pastels!

Lively painting - I shall crack pastel if it kills me; which it probably will.

Thanks Robert, it's weird how something new takes sometime to get used to. Especially for me!!

Lovely pastel work,Carole. I like the dark background which brings out the light colours of the flowers. Dog Roses are lovely little flowers, I love painting them.

Didn't know under which flower picture I should leave my comment as they are all so delicate and eye catching. Very enjoyable.
