Slow steamer by David Geden

David, that sea is a mighty blue but it's a super pastel painting and the steamer looks really good. I am imagining they are sailing in ice burg country! Thank you so much for commenting on my cat which did not turn out as I wanted but you win some and you lose some and it's only for my own enjoyment, so who cares!! I tried pastel and failed, too messy for me but I do admire those who use it. Best wishes for 2018 hope it's really creative!

Indeed it is a mighty blue Margaret....I blame my casino background entirely. The location is somewhere frozen as you suspect. Pastel is messy but I produce an even greater mess with watercolour. Not at first, actually quite reasonable but it didn't last long. 2018 will be creative for us all. Thanks for your comments.

Beautiful Ship, David, The Water is Magic! Molten from Ice it might even turn out to look so bright on a Photograph

Thanks Holger. This is a great site, helpful and encouraging comments.
