Janis Zroback
Gorgeous Lynda….we have an area here called the Blue Mountain…this puts me in mind of it…
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you Janis. Today it looks nothing like this! Today it is very bright, dry and dusty and 38 degrees!
Paul Starkey
Another stunning piece, Lynda.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks Paul – I just wanted to look at something that made me feel cool on this very hot day, and thought you and other Bubblers might like to feel cool too!!!!
Paul Starkey
This is a very cool piece! It is hot today too! Phwe!! Your description makes it even cooler. brrrr :-)
Lynda Robinson
I’m sure our RB friends on the other side of the world know how it feels to be cool!
Marion Chapman
what stunning colours. those gorgeous hues of blue and purple are wonderful. and what a fabulous place you must live in!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you Marion. I am very lucky to live here in virtual isolation, yet not too far from ‘civilisation’. I have a wonderful view across a valley to the Tallarook Ranges. I have done many paintings of this place, but I haven’t uploaded them (yet)!

Hi Linda,
your work is just lovely and I clearly you are a natural….
your porraits are stunning too!
You should really think about working toward the Archibald next year! you would be a natural….
Also, please consider Germany…. I think your portrayal of the Northern Victorian Countryside would I’m sure be a winner in Europe…
Lynda Robinson replied
Why goodness me Raven5! I just don’t know what to say! I really don’t think I am at ‘Archibald’ standard, but feel very flattered that you think I could be. I will treasure this comment!!!!!
Irene Burdell
Stunning work Lynda and gorgeous colours.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you Irene, and thank you for allowing pastels into the Still Life Group! I have had so much feedback, you wouldn’t believe it!!!!
Hidemi Tada
how can you find such a brilliant color? I wish I could have a half of your sense of color, Lynda. you are very special artist.
Lynda Robinson replied
So good to hear from you Hidemi. Thank you for another special comment!
Irene Burdell
I also put a link in my journal to your profile . x
Lynda Robinson replied
Well thank you again. I think I should employ you as my agent! (the pay is fairly poor though)!!!!

Linda Callaghan
this is gorgeous Lynda …have had no time to think about painting for a while but hopefully will soon…totally inspired by this wonderful view that you have shared with us
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you Linda. I hope you find some time to paint again really soon.
Mrswillow
O.K. Lynda bestus!! Another beautiful atmospheric painting of this beautiful part of the state….great work.
I read that comment about the Archibald! What about aiming for that and /or The Doug Moran? You can do it!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you my dear friend! Will think about those comments very carefully!!!!
Brian Towers
Love the title as much as the painting Lynda; the winter blues is very cheering. I see you favour what I’m sure is strong cobalt blue. Wise choice seeing the results you come up with. Rather than sitting out there in the cool of early morning, I guess you do as I do and work from your own photos, but whichever, you do a great job.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you so much Brian. It is always a pleasure to receive your comment.
bevmorgan
A stunningly beautiful painting, Lynda. Your colours just sing in this wonderful piece and the scenery is breathtaking. Love that blue!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you very much Bev. The blue seems to be attracting a few comments, which is quite interesting because I thought it was maybe a bit too ‘strong’. I sold the painting a few months ago to some Americans!
Shree
I think from yesterday i am going to favourite all of your artworks..they all are so compelling to keep on gazing for hours…i had started adoring your pastel skills believe me..!!! Great shades once again.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you so much Shree. Your comments are quite overwhelming!!!
AnitaInverarity
Gorgeous- I could drink in your work all day xx
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks Anita! You are such a good pal!
Charlie08
Lynda, I would take that as opposed to looking out my window and there’s an accumulation of about a foot of snow.. UCK..I can’t wait for spring! lol
This is so beautiful..Love the colors!

Colin Cartwright
Ah, it may be winter, bu this lovely painting in pastels, is soothing for the soul.
I thought this was a wet-in-wet watercolour, with that misty background.
Beautiful, Lynda.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you very much Colin. I am very happy to sooth your soul!

Lynda I lived for 2 years in Ferny creek and this looks like the meadow beside my cabin!
Thank you for the memory!
Chookas! X♥X
Lynda Robinson replied
Not Ferny Creek Alyssa! – It is actually the view from my loungeroom window!!
ISMAIL ALAOUI ...
i saw many great art wok imy life,
but , the energy you show on yours are still new to me,
amazing
i’m still trying to figure it out,
i’m sure you see beauty from your own special angle
and i like it so much
i wish i could express it more deeply
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you for a truly wonderful and generous comment Ismail. Will send you a bmail soon…......
ISMAIL ALAOUI ...
i see
you use hyper hot colors, purple
and you work on a higher color saturation departing from your original photo or landscape,
but still its your beautiful spirit that show this life on your works
Kate Eller
Awwwww Ismail says it so well….so poetically. I think he is a born poet as well as an artist….....and I think he is taking notes. Are you taking notes Ismail? He has it all right though Lynda. Your paintings have to come from your soul. You love that beautiful land and aren’t you so lucky to live there? What a scene, and what magic you create when you paint those scenes…...Queenie
Lynda Robinson replied
Hi Kate!!!! I love this comment!!!! You are so right about Ismail – he leaves the most poetic and wonderful comments and so do you!!!
Jim Phillips
Well between Ismail and Kate, I don’t know what to say that at this point wouldn’t sound cheesy. lol Seriously, I wouldn’t disagree with a thing either of them wrote, Lynda. You are an artist that obviously creates from the soul and it comes bursting though on each of your works with such a high standard of quality. This one is gorgeous as are all your works.
Lynda Robinson replied
You do make me laugh Jim!!!! Thanks for the ‘un-cheesey’ comment my good friend!
Scott d'Almeida
excellent
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks Scott.

Another one I missed
I love the soft tones to this Lynda
What you call a cool, misty, moisty morning would be a
warm hazy summer’s day to us
Lynda Robinson replied 25 days ago
I dunno about the warm, hazy summer’s day remark Mike! It gets pretty nippy here in the winter too! Many thanks for another great comment my friend.
