Autumn at Trawool
Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper (burgundy).
Autumn in Australia is a beautiful season! The intense heat has diminished from the sun and beautiful days are followed by cool nights. Our weather over Easter has been exactly as depicted in this painting. I painted this last year and sold it at an art show soon afterwards. Trawool is an extremely scenic area only a few kilometres from my home.

Beautiful…brilliant colour.I think this is a “newie” ...don’t think I have seen it before!
Lynda Robinson replied
Maybe you didn’t see it Sandra, but it is not a “newie”. Sold it at ‘TARTS’ Tallarook Art Show last year.

A splendid painting Lynda. I love landscapes…and especially painted ones.
Lynda Robinson replied
Many thanks Ron. I really appreciate your interest in my work. Your camera would LOVE this area of Northern Victoria!!!!
adgray
OH I LOVE THIS
but then I love all your work lol
I especially like the blue shadows!
and do I know this? would it be the private road through the valley north of the Golburn & the end of the Tallarook state park to my fave camp spot? – Ah to go back there!
Gorgeous again as always! BRAVO !!
Chookas! X♥X
Lynda Robinson replied
Thought you would recognise the area Alyssa!!! It is a side road off the back road to Tallarook, but I can’t remember the name of it!!! There are only a couple of properties along it and it is a dirt road that comes to a dead end.
adgray
YES !!!!!!!!
and one of the last properties is a gorgeous big old white home from the 1800s [poss early1900s] – is that a touch of it in your painting?
to the left of this spot you are standing viewing it from is a property up in the trees with loads of “No Shooting!” signs around
but at that dead end is a camp ground!!!!!! about 8 acres along the river!
and the valley runs east west so the days are as long as anywhere yet you are surrounded by hills!
I knew I knew it!!!!
Woooohooooooooooo!!! I feel so excited now!!! lol
Now when can I get up there …..... uuuuummmmmm…........... lol
Chookas you wonderful lady you! X♥X
& thank you for this blast of memory!! It’s made my day !!! :O)
Lynda Robinson replied
You make me smile Alyssa! I think the home you are referring to is the Miller farm – that is a bit further up the road, so no, that isn’t it in this painting.
Antanas
lovely work, well done
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks Antanas.
Linda Callaghan
this is beautiful Lynda…love the colours with the golden grass – great depth and such a lovely scene…fab. shadows too! perfect
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks Linda. The shadows were the bit I most enjoyed!
maria paterson
beautiful light
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks so much Maria.
sneha
awsome!! lovely fresh colors and perspective makes it interesting!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you Sneha. Lovely to hear from you.
Edzie
Living in this country makes us take its beauty for granted. Glad you capture it so well. Your art makes me want to go for a drive, just to see some of it. Well done.
Lynda Robinson replied
What a great comment Edzie! Thank you very much. Yes, I think I have to agree that we DO take the beauty of our country for granted, so get in the car and head off!
Linda Ridpath
beautiful again lynda, i am always amazed when i look closely at how much pink, lilac, purples you use…. I am forgetting i think how the trees in australia are coloured with so many bluish hues. lovely xxxx
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks Linda – I try to add some warm tones to the cool areas and vice versa, and I do seem to sometimes ‘see’ colours in landscapes that maybe other people don’t! Maybe I’m just weird!!!!
justineb
great image, nice capture of our aussie scenery!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you for a lovely comment!
Alan Findlater
excellent work well done
Lynda Robinson replied
Lovely to hear from you Alan, and thank you for your lovely comment.
Linda Ridpath
nah…. its not you that weird, its the ozzie landscape thats a little off centre!!! :>))
AnitaInverarity
Just Gorgeous- The colours and the light, stunning as always xxxxxxxx
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you Anita! XOXOXOX
Kate Eller
Oh, Oh, magnificent. I’ll bet you get tons of commissions, don’t you. My goodness this is a beautiful scene Lyndy-Lou! Looks like either early morning or late afternoon with the shadowing placed as it is. The blues…...that’s your trump card, I think. You know just where to place the blue hues to really make your paintings jump out at’cha.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks heaps Kate. It was late afternoon.
dtomw
Fabulous! The colours and the lighting are reminiscent of the best work of Albert Namitijara.
Lynda Robinson replied
WELL – what can I say? That is a GREAT compliment!!!
Ciska
Beautiful as alwayz!!!
Lynda Robinson replied
Many thanks Ciska.
Susan Bergstrom
Fantastic work my ultra talented friend!!!!

I am grinning from ear to ear! Thanks Les!!!
Joseph Barbara
Light, shadow and perspective are excellently executed, well done Lynda.
Lynda Robinson replied
thank you so much Joseph. Always great to hear from you.
Brian Towers
You always come up with the goodies Lynda. I don’t know which blue you use for shadows but they bold and work their magic. You, as always, did a great job with this landscape and the sky is excellent.
Lynda Robinson replied
Such a fantastic comment coming from someone whose work I greatly admire! I have a few pastels which are called ‘cobalt’ but they are all different hues! One of my favourites is a very soft Schminke brand, and I use it quite a lot in landscapes. I also have a small piece left of a ‘powder blue’ tone, but do you think I can remember what ruddy brand it is?!!!! I haven’t been able to find another one that I like as much. I often add a swish of pink or red to my blues too.
jgmart
Awesome work! Wonderful painting!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you very much – I appreciate your comment.
GEORGE SANDERSON

Blended
Very pretty Lynda. It is so hard to realize your in autumn and here we are in Spring. With the closeness of the internet it feels as though your right next door.
Lynda Robinson replied
Yes I know what you mean! The internet has changed the world! It is great to be able to communicate with people such as yourself who couldn’t be further away from where I am!

It was sooo nice to see a pastel on the homepage, and especially this wonderful piece!!!

ANNETTE HAGGER
Ive just voted for this in the challlenge Lyn, good luck ,hope you win ! ...anna : )
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you for your vote Anna. That is very kind of you. However, the group holding the challenge is focussed on photography so I don’t have a hope of doing any good. I just thought I would strike a blow for the ‘painters’ by entering something!
Stan Wojtaszek
Congrats on your top ten placement in the Signs of Fall and Winter challenge. Very well done, Lynda !!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you so much Stan. It was quite a surprise! Didn’t think I would do any good with an ‘artwork’ as the ‘Mornings & Evenings group is mainly focussed on photography. I am delighted!!!!
Linda Jackson
Well done Lynda! Congrats on top 10! I wonder how many of us Linda’s are on rb??? Take care, Linda
Lynda Robinson replied
There are HEAPS of us Li(y)nda’s Linda! We are as common as muck! I know of hmmmm let me think – 1, 2, 3, 4 I think there are 5 that I know of! Thanks for the great comment and you take care too.
