Moving the Rams

Beautiful Lynda…do you live around places you paint …this is something that I would never see in Canada…I see farms a things like that but not sheep hearding on the road….I’m also amazed at the color you use and how loose you are…it’s obvious your very confident with your work…Is your work national or are you mainly Australia known

Sorry Lynda I forgot to ask you something…and yes your work is pastel not painting…I used to always use pastel but I found it so fragile.. What is colorfix sanded paper…does it make your pastel less fragile meaning it stays where it is suppose to ? I would really love to spend time with you talking shop xx

Truly beautiful Lynda! I love how you depict such wonderful pastels of the local scenery

You shadow and light contrasts on the beautifully bright day are amazing. Had to make it an instant favorite.

aww love the sheeps , a typical farm scene painted so well, love the colourfix too. just wish it was a bit larger! not that huge size ,but same as Canson. can’t handle doing[painting it on] it myself though always too rough haha not myself of course!!! I spilt a whole jar on my playroom floor once, tempted to paint a pic on it [carpet ]

Lynda, this is wonderful. I am squinting from the bright sunshine as I view this amazing scene. There is a fantastic sense of distance, light and warmth. I love the sheep, the dogs and the figure of the farmer, who, I am certain, would have been thrilled with this expertly rendered painting.

I LOVE how you seem to grace the composition with your love for the ranges – it’s as if they are stroked lovingly into the back ground!
That’s what I think Attracts me to the ranges and your work – the urge to stroke those hills!
and yes that is the light of midday in the area (anywhere in Australia)
the brightness and clarity bleaching the rich colours of our country!
The bloke who has this should be stoked at it hanging in his Lounge room!
GORGEOUS! ♥

Looks like a grand day to take a stroll with the sheep!!! Beautiful work my friend!

What an incredibly peaceful pastoral. If this represents Australia, then I’m ready to move there. Although I heard rumors that Australia is now the plumpest nation? Is that true? If so, I have to say here because I have enough trouble fighting the battle of the bulge right here in Yank-land. : >D Cheers!

This is really fantastic work Lynda as usual. Superb. x

Another amazing pastel Lynda…love the depth which leads the viewers eye into the painting….composition and detail of course is perfect in every way and I am studying your sky :-D beautiful colours and layers ...yep a fav!

Wondeful work,love this atmosphere !

Fantastic work Lynda…perfect colours and classic composition…but what I love most is the light you have painted into the far hills…you have really made them come alive and be an interesting part of the painting, even though they are in the background. Bravo!

beautiful lynda, great sense of light and heat, also a feeling of movement among the sheep and dogs in the foreground. brilliant!!! xxx

Wonderful job Lynda, I particularly love the hills in the distance :)

Wow Lynda this is just fabulous,looks like hubby had a long walk again.lol

Fabulous work Lynda.

Just beautiful Lynda!!! Well done and I’m sure its hanging proudly in your friends home!!!

I once did a very similar piece for an album cover for an Irish music group. Except the sheep were each a different color. :) The band is called Dyed in the Wool. LOL.

Just brilliant Linda!

lynda ,,, this is very beautifull as always, but how come there is only 4 sheeps
and they are old males,
where are the girlssssssss
haha

Very beautiful work:)

You leave the rest of us groveling. But we are happy to do so.

This is very Maveresk & Robbo & it looks like England Especially with the fat Rams !! very beautiful scene.

This is so beautiful – I love the way the colors seem to glow.

No toenail clippings used here then !!!!!!!!

Superb pastel painting, Lynda. As ever.
You’ve paid fine attention to the contours of the rolling landscape and the shadows of the man, dogs and sheep.

Now why did I ever think you couldn’t get any better Lynda? Such talent. This is a superb painting. The detail in the grass etc is excellent.

excellent,

Another great work Lynda. Such a good image of life on the land in Australia.
The farmer must have been happy with this, I’m sure.

It´s beautiful. I wish I could go for a walk with my dogs in that place :)

beautiful as always Lynda
The hills look similar to the south downs
Another fave
