So well observed and painted Michele, your use of pastel is brilliant.

Says it all, I know exactly what you mean and a fabulous pastel with heaps of different textures

Simply brilliant, Michelle, I so know the feeling! Hope it was a Rescue, they're the best!!

The sort of dog I like is the one that looks out of the door at the wet, rain, and mud - looks up at one, and then turns back in the direction of the fireplace. Bulldogs are good at that. Unfortunately, we had an Alsatian... Wonderful pastel: I hope you give lessons.

Amazing.

We have horses - and the effect on us humans is just the same. I love the way you've conveyed the cold and the water, and those steamed up glasses.
