Tranquility
My first pastel Australian landscape painting. Imagine tranquil pools of still water, surrounded by worn rock, soft grasses swaying in the breeze. Take in the majestic and photogenic landscape, listen to nature and refresh your soul!
I walked alone into a tranquil land
felt the coolness of the water with the palm of my hand
I looked up to the sky and turned my face to the sun
lost in the moment, with nature I was one…....
a magic place to be.

I went through you art work, and I think it is well done, you should look into illustrating some books,you could make some money doing that.
Stephen , for Surealworld Galleries
Linda Callaghan replied
thank you Stephen ….I had thought one day (when time allowed) that I would compile my art of Australia with my poetry and see what i could come up with..what do you think? I am glad you like my art and I thank you for your comment.
Stephen J. Va...
I think that is a good plan, because I am planning to do the same thing.
I am getting my work widely spread on the internet, in hopes I will gather an enough people who enjoy my work,so when I put out my book, there will be a market for it.

Linda Callaghan replied
