High Country Trail Ride

Wow! You totally captured that wet day vibe with this one. I am almost getting shivers looking at it and I live in the Seattle, Washington USA area which is a very rainy place.

Well,,lady I guess you did, those coats look like they are soaking wet, the one horse looks like he is loosing his footing in the drenched streaming road,, and if they don’t find cover soon they will loose their covers,, hats,, in that miserable wind,, you captured it and from a black and white,, you are fabulous,, love linmarie

LOL!!!! I guess so,, not as much detail too deal with this is just beautiful,, I definitely felt the dampness mood in this painting,,,sweet dreams,, linmarie

Well done -cool (literally :) painting

Wonderful work Lynda. I fell wet just looking at this pastel lol. The shading is so very well done and I love the limited palette.

Wonderful….just love it…. :0)

a bit of bush poetry would go good with this one lynda

you caught the feeling of a hard ride, well done

Lynda I can really feel the weather elemnts in this one. Your usual very high standard of work. A pleasure to view. ~ Anni :)

Lynda..this is just wonderful…how fantastic to be able to express so much in a painting..I can feel the coldness and wetness!!!!the colours are perfect for this scene..I just love it !!!!!Cathy

This is a wonderful piece. Ilm so used to seeing your beauiful, bright sunny days, this one sort of took me by surprise. You can feel the wet chill in the air. Wonderfully and skillfully done Lynda.

Ditto all of the above….I just had to go and put an extra jacket on!....Love it…!

can feel the water trickling down my neck…. I love this, it reminds me of the many hours i have spent here in england on a wet day on a wet horse with wet running down my neck…. fantastic atmospheric painting lyndy lou!!!! xx

Wonderful painting! Reminds me of the time i went on a western style trail ride in the highlands with friends. Happy memories!

Nice image, i love your painting in which you painted group. when i was a child, my dream was to become a cowboy.

I like this a lot…I love the fact that you can’t see everything too clearly…somethings are merged in the mist…love the almost monochrome feeling of just a few colours…they seem like men on a mission on a quiet morning, intent on what’s ahead, ignoring the discomfort of the weather, but very much aware of it…there is a lot that is conveyed here, but much is left to the viewers imagination…we can have a dialogue with the scene…really well done Lynda…

Excellent, love the subect, the treatment, the feeling it evokes.

Ooops….correction : subject

Beautiful!! Really great scene ;-)

WOW – Amazing painting Lynda!

Stunning work, Lynda !!
You have really captured the mood of the weather and the misty distance is great !!!
l bet this was an improvement on the photo !

Well this newspaper image certainly worked well. This is fabulous, your archives are very impressive Lynda.

Jeese that is quite a point of view! Feels like your are on one of those horses. The general mood seems to add to this illusion. Nasty cold day!

Love the misty and wet look of this pastel, and the theme of your work is always so Australian. It’s fantastic!

Lynda; so much feeling in this work, almost like being in the saddle again.

Regards EJ

It’s difficult to convey atmosphere in a painting … but you can do it fine.

An oldie but a goodie as they say. When I first looked at this I thought it was an oil painting, it is so soft & misty. Congrats on your sale & feature:-)

This tells a wonderful story, Lynda. I love your colours and the wonderful folds and textures in the cattlemen’s coats. Amazing work, as always.

A really great piece of work Lynda.

Wonderful work, Lynda!

You know Lynda, I love this country so much. I’ve been overseas, I was born in Germany and raised in this country and I love every single minute of the land and the animals that have a spirit and a life that is beyond my ability to explain. I work outdoors with racehorses for a wonderful boss who I have so much respect for. Everything about your work and this one as well always reminds me of the deep love I have for this country. The eons of time I have spent out in the heart of the forest and bush on horseback, running, hiking and admiring this great land of ours.

Thank you for the amazing gift you share with us and for the beauty you show!

The wetness, mist and faint branches, look more like a watercolour, than a pastel. Such a versatile medium, in the hands of real artist. Quite awe-inspiring talent, Lynda!

So glad you didn’t miss my comment and it is a joy to me if I was able to make you smile. Indeed, what a GREAT country we live in!

stunning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I love this…somehow I feel my ancestry in this one. Excellent.

masterful work

Horse at work group :)) k

You must be sick of comments on this one Lynda, but it is a masterpiece of work. I got similarly wet this morning on my trip to the supermarket. Brilliant piece. Well done!

Congratulations on coming second in the PiMT challenge

Totally Atmospheric!

well done ,lod worldly depicTion!! LIZ

Gorgeous work!

Oh lovely Linda

Congratulations on all your welldeserved features ,Lynda.The atmosphere in this is great.

Linda, you have definitely captured the mood. The rain, the heavy mist, the horses sloshing through muddy waters. Damn and dreary. I can smell the horses’ damp sweat. I have been on cattle drives in the mountains and I remember well the smell.

This is really cool. It caught my eye. ;-)
