GloriaDK
Ginny all your pieces are lovely. i find personally it is good to get out and use pastel it is so quick .
Virginia McGowan replied
I did this up on the roof but it was sort of indoors I find I can’t use pastels out doors much, [although thinking about it right now, I have done a lot. ] as i have hundreds of bits and pieces and have them scattered everywhere! The last time I went out doors with pastels it started raining.. LOL hard on the paper ! I guess for a small work be easier..
debsphotos
Wonderful depth and use of colours Gini!! What a view!*-)
Virginia McGowan replied
Hi Deb hope you have recovered! thanks soo much
Lynda Robinson
I just LURVE this one Ginny!!!!! What wonderful colours and fantastic ‘aerial perspective’!!! You do amuse me with your tales, and this is no exception! I can just imagine you on the roof!!!!
Virginia McGowan replied
thanks Lynda, well I got organised a bit, or maybe a lot by a well know Aussie artist there to judge a big art show he was;helping’ usualy i just plonk down as I arrive anywhere and he came along and put my easel into a possy so it wouldn’t wobble and set the paints up on the correct side , other wise I would have been all tangled up and not many good footholds up on the rough surface, it had layers of a sort of a heavy plasticy stuff ?? It needed and was being renovated…will find a pic one day….
Leslie Gustafson
Well, your group 3 years ago was having a very off day!!
Virginia McGowan replied
Oh Leslie I think they were probably all uptight about their own work,..
barnsis
Great work, excellent perspective and DOF
Virginia McGowan replied
thanks Byron, great to have you as a friend here…. never thought about DOF in relation to paintings!
bevmorgan
Glorious piece of work, Ginny. I love everything about it, but especially the wonderful mood you have created. Your colours and the sense of depth are truly amazing.
Virginia McGowan replied
Hi Bev i hesitated about this, thought maybe why it didn’t sell or raise any interest in shows as it’s really not the usual colours I use, I think I use mostly more bluey … [no answer required just chatting!!]
maria paterson
beautiful work ginny, love the colours and the forms
Virginia McGowan replied
Hi Maria, thanks I should perhaps use more of the ochres…
barnsis
Well I have several artists on my watch list and even though many of their works a awesome few of them have a true DOF to them Yous definitely did and it was one of the factors that made it really jump out at me.
Virginia McGowan replied
oh Byron !! thanks sooo much…
