You have such a complete control over the medium of pastel Lynda, it’s unbelievable !!
Love the foreground tree and the lichen with all its details. You instantly give a go for future featured works…..

Fabulous piece of craftsmanship, I spent all day taking photos of fungi and mushrooms in my neck of the woods,, now if I could only sit still long enough too paint or draw what I capture like you do,, I would truly feel accomplished,, this is an breath taking piece,, love and hugs,, LINMARIE
Lynda Robinson replied

Thanks heaps Linmarie! This was such a challenge, and I was very pleased with the outcome. Only wish I had kept it instead of putting it in an art show! It didn’t last long before someone bought it!

Now how did I miss this one?
I obviously wasn’t paying attention when it was posted.
Fantastic detail on the tree
Lynda Robinson replied

I dunno! How did you miss it? I think I may have missed a few of yours recently Mike, so we are even!!!! Life has been somewhat hectic! Thanks for a great comment.
Constance Widen

:-) This is another breathtaking painting Lynda, your ability to paint textures is awesome! What pastels do you use? oxox
Lynda Robinson replied

Thanks heaps Constance. Well strangely enough I was just looking at some of your work and see that you use Sennelier and Unison, and I love both brands – especially Unison. They seem to have just the right texture and the colours are brilliant. I only have a few though. I also use Schminke (really soft) and Lukas (both “German brands) as well as Art Spectrum which are an Australian brand.
Nira Dabush

Lynda Robinson replied 19 days ago
