Beautiful work Helene,like the impressionist style.

SOMETHING NEW FOR YOU, GOOD STUFF, AS ALWSYS…

Lovely work

Beautiful work Helene. I really like it. :)

Wow, very different for you. The pallette reminds me of Jeannie Pettyare. Very fine work. Can you advise of the size, meidium ect… I really think you could sell originals from here. Thank You for sharing, I really like what you are doing

Beautiful. I love how you have done this in the vertical.

beautiful – wonderful colours – love the definite strokes and colours for the foreground against the softness of the middle.

Very lovely Helene!

YES AGAIN…

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
jkp the size of the original is 61 X 28 cms. Medium is chalk pastel on watercolour paper.

Oh, something different, but very beautiful also.

Helene, this is truly beautiful…..

beautiful work of art, lovely colors

I like the various layers from grasses to sky. Lots of depth in this beautiful landscape.

Thanks Adela, Wendy, hugo and Danielle :o)

how lovely! hope you enjoyed creating it! :)

That’s beautiful

I did MissKristy – I’m really enjoying working with pastels! :o)
Thanks for your comment abstruse

Lovely tonal layers, Helene

Thanks Mel

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 …

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

Lovely.
Tony

Thanks Tony

I love the way you’ve blended the colors here in such a beautiful and subtle way. I hope you do more excursions into pastels. :)

So many beatiful colors in such an amazing piece of art. Splendid.

Amazing colours, I was always wondering what are your thoughts when u r paintg something like this?

Thanks for your comments Mary and SpaceCadet.
SpaceCadet I wanted to give a sense of the many different layers of the landscape in this one – that’s why I chose the longer sized paper.

Very nice Helene…love your colour tones…;)

Thanks Louise!

Really soft and subdued, very nice work.

Thanks Susan

wonderful colours, and thank you for the welcome

Thanks Jo – and you’re welcome :o)

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.

Thanks Matt

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.
