The faceless ones! Like a coupla cowboys, under them thar hats, a makin’ camp.
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!

Tracie Koziura 24 days ago
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.
