    Excellent painting, Lynda. Good smoke, figures and a cool dog.

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Thanks Colin. That is a lovely, positive comment. Maybe considering the vicinity of the campfire, it is a ‘hot’ dog rather than a cool one!

    Great portrait Lynda with a wonderful atmosphere
    Has he got his head down so that you can’t see him muttering about artists?

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Must have missed your comment on this one Mike! I do apologise. You are probably right about the muttering. Every now and again one or the other would say “Have you finished yet”? It was such a miserable, wet day!

    Incredible pastel work, Lynda! I love working with pastels on velour & the new Clairefontaine PastelMat but I just cannot get good results on other papers (and I have tried LOADS of different surfaces) so when I see work like yours, I am in total awe!

    This piece has everything – atmosphere; composition; wonderful light & shadows; a perfect balance of elements to hold the viewers attention and space for the imagination to weave it’s own story. Masterful! Beautiful work!

  • Lynda Robinson replied 24 days ago

    Thanks for your amazing comment Tracie. I had a look at your gallery yesterday and your work is beautiful. I just cannot get along with velour!!!! Isn’t it strange how we have our preferences? Haven’t tried the Clairefontaine. Is that a rough surface? I love the Colourfix and also Canson Mi-teintes for certain things.

    Thanks for the extremely insightful comment on this painting.

    Hi Lynda,
    I am always surprised by your talent…. I could go on
    5 features noted and I hope many more for this great work

    DIKO

  • Lynda Robinson replied 20 days ago

    It’s quite interesting Diko, because this was gathering dust down the back of my gallery, and not many people had looked at it. Then I added it to a few more groups and put it on the front page and it has gained heaps of attention! It is one of my personal favourites, so I am really pleased you like it.
