Excellent title Mick....a road into space, peace, adventure, the list could go on. I like the message and I think the colours also give it mood. There's great depth too. I can't tell where you've used pastel though.

Thanks Fiona. It's done on quality pastel paper. I started with some watercolour washes and ended up discovering that using pastel paper for watercolour gave a good result. I continued to add more watercolour and finished off with a little pastel. The worst thing about it is that the perspective is dodgy. It looks like two separate paintings now that I've uploaded it. But I am learning and progressing in some areas with landscape.

Well its a slight touch of pastel. Like the colours Michael. Reminds me of Paul Gogan, sorry cannot spell is name.

Thanks John. You're kind.

Beautiful painting, Michael, gorgeous colours, and as for me the perspective is right. Great armony of colours.

Really beautiful and unusual colours here Michael, the pink glows. Love the title too.

Cesare and Satu, thanks very much.

Gorgeous colours Michael

Nice perspective, and nice colours give this Heather moorland nice atmosphere. Like it.
