'Hot Day at Tarcombe'

stunning portraiture Lynda. i have never saw such a detail expression on beard and hair on the arm. And also color is excellent.

OMG you can feel the heat from here, great work, love it

I think that this is the only country where the light is so laser like, I find that trying to paint northern hemisphere light is very frustrating for me, as I have become accustomed to seeing the colours so vividly now. when I go back to the UK, the colours seem so dull. so when I paint images from my UK pics I really have to ramp up the colour. thanks for looking at my stuff, glad you liked it. cheers…M

Lynda, this is incredible. It’s very detailed but still looks like a painting. I am in awe of people who can do this with pastel. One of these days, I’m going to get out the pastels I inherited from my late father-in-law and give them a try. But how do you get a painting like this with those stubby chalks?!! I think I’d like this guy.

Such life and color! Fantastic work..
Now, tell me.. do you ever use pastel pencils? I use both the sticks and pencils and it makes quite a difference in the detail (not that you need any help at all in the department!).. just an idea..

wonderful image lynda, you are so talented and your capture of classic australians is so good.

wonderful portrait!

superb art Lynda really talented .

Exceptional pastel portrait work, Lynda.
This is superb. The shadows and details are so realistic.

Great piece really nice lighting.

Thank you very much Janne. I have had a look through your portfolio and your work is outstanding. I will definitely be visiting your exhibition next March.

Great portrait! Love the sunny feel and contrasting warm and cool colors!

I love the colours in your work…. they’re ‘alive’...

Superb art work my friend. Beautiful job

Really great Lynda – very characterful!

Lynda, your work is wonderful. I love pastel and I’ve just started working with it myself. I’m thinking of taking a class, until then I’ll just have fun experimenting.

Hi Baxfly. I am sure you will have fun experimenting and discovering the endless possibilities with this under-rated medium! Let me know how you go, and if I can give you any hints I will be more than happy to help. I had a look at your portfolio and, although it only contains ‘Nannette’ at the moment, it looks as if you have mastered pastel pretty well already! Thank you for your very kind comment.

very nice work…...love it

Wow! Just fantastic!

Such fantasic work! Virtually each passage has me speachless – not a common result for me. The way you have the sunlight skipping over his arm alone is so perfectly done.

superb , wonderful depth the guy could walk straight out of the canvas
