Marengo Sunrise

Lynda Robinson

Marengo Sunrise

Pastel on Colourfix paper – 70cm x 50cm

A walk on the beach on a warm summer morning at about 6.00 a.m. revealed these amazing clouds and colours. There was absolutely not another soul around, so I had the opportunity to sit undisturbed and make colour notes as well as take a few photos for later reference.

Note: for George Sanderson – your birds have migrated!!!!!

    The golden clouds are scurring across the gentle breeze
    The sun will warm the day with growing ease
    My soul will never miss
    The love of our first kiss
    For it echoes in the million ways we please

    Each morning we shall wake together
    And travel the journey in all weather
    Our life will show the bliss
    Of each and every kiss
    For our souls desire love’s eternal teather

    I will forever walk beside you
    And you shall always hold my hand
    Nothing will ever come between me and you
    As we travel across this life’s land

    Softly seagulls cry as they scrable for their feed
    Gentle crolching sounds of waves escaping out to sea
    My heart knows bliss
    On shores like this
    When you walk the morning sands with me

    This is delightful with the brilliance of the early morning summer colours!
    I know I haven’t seen this one before! Just beautiful Lynda!

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Thanks Sandra. It is hanging in Doug’s Hot Bread shop at the moment!

  • Simon Aberle

    Simon Aberle

    I really love your use of colour in this Lynda.
    It’s one of the things about your art that I like so much, using colour to add tones rather than just darker and lighter shades.
    This is the stuff they teach in art classes, that I never learned because i never studied lol

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Awwww! Thank you Simon for such a lovely comment! You are a great RB mate, and I appreciate your continued support of my work very much.

  • Brian Towers

    Brian Towers

    No wonder you get such fast responses from the gang so soon after your work ‘hits the streets’. This is brilliant in the talent used and the colours. Some of those colours remain unused in many a UK paint box as we don’t have your wonderful weather (we used lots of greys – even for sea birds). You always amaze me in what you can do with with pastels; the clouds especially are so well formed. Well worth getting up early for such results.

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Thanks for a fantastic comment Brian. Someone in the U.K. DOES use these sort of colours and more – go and take a look at Scott Naismith’s work! It was a wonderful morning, and I will never ever forget my most enjoyable, early stroll on a totally deserted beach before the heat of the day set in.

  • Chris Baker

    Chris Baker

    How you make these highly saturated colour palettes actually WORK is incredible Lynda…. Here in London we have a certain ‘generic’ painting style called ‘Bayswater Road’ where they all attempt this kind of art, but just paint bright colours without being able to quite ‘figure out what they’re doing’.... :)
    I’m waffling….!
    Gorgeous, and the foreground waves’ reflections do it for me :)

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Well – I am speechless at receiving such a detailed and enlightening comment from you Chris. Thank you very much indeed. I must research that ‘Bayswater Road’ style. It sounds very interesting.
