Such beautiful, delicate blossom Carole. Stunning against the black paper.

Stands out very nicely on the black, Carole - you haven' t posted for a while, are you finding it difficult to get motivated, like me?

As usual so well observed and beautifully painted Carole. Good to know you are around.

Beautiful painting, Carole, as always - I've missed seeing your paintings on this site, it seems to have been a while...

Lovely botanical pastel

Thank you all very much for your kind words they mean a lot. That's right Marjorie, painting has taken a back seat for a while, not much inspiration, I am pursing another hobby, and that is making mouldings (small) for mixed media projects with acrylic and colour waxes. It has been so interesting and kept me going through this horrible lockdown.

Beautiful Carole, great skill needed to produce work of this quality.

I couldn’t believe that was pastel until I magnified the image, amazing talent!

Gorgeous, perfect on that black lustrous background! Really miss apple blossom, apples don't grow here at all!
