    Beautiful drawing Helene. I love your choise of colours. The blend of colours on the foreground and in the middle works great. The warm glow of the sky is fabulous. Since I am playing with those miraculous pastels some letters of my keyboard get stuck. I blow the powder into it …

  • Helene Kippert

    Helene Kippert, 9 months ago

    I know what you mean Martin – I’m leaving trails of pastel all over my keyboard too. The price of creativity! :o)

    Matt Dawdy, 9 months ago

    I like the crop of this, the lighting at the top and the expression of colors. For an ‘excursion’ into pastels you show a great use and ability to control coloring and shading. The coloring of the plants at the bottom is especially attractive.

    I don’t comment your work very often Helene.. because i don’t know what to say , and I don’t find my words for commenting properly my feelings..on abstract
    However on this one, bringing me straight in the field, I’m better in my “element”.
    I love this work and I agree with alistair talking about impressionist style.
