Scattered Showers

Pastel on Colourfix paper (burgundy) – 70cm x 50cm

We are having a few scattered showers here at the moment, which reminded me I had this painting hidden somewhere in my archives! A study of eucalyptus leaves which I painted in 2005 as part of a solo exhibition (My Easel and Eye) which was held at a local winery. The opening was a BLAST! One of the most memorable days of my life!

    Wow, it’s amazing how such a simple subject can produce such a complex looking work of art. Both beautifully and skillfully done Lynda. Truly, a gorgeous pastel.

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Thanks so much Jim. I think if I was to be doing this today I would subdue a lot of the background and just ‘feature’ a few leaves in the foreground. I did have fun doing this though.

    No Wonder you had a fantastic RedBubble month.
    This is a terrific take on what seems a simple subject (but isn’t easy to do), great light and depth

    I like how the hard sharp leaves and twigs stand out against the soft background, almost as if there were a lens focused on the foreground. I guess we can see that way also, but I seldom see it in a drawing.

  • Lynda Robinson replied

    Thank you for an excellent and detailed comment Randy. Very much appreciated.

    An exhibtion at a winery! Love those Aussie wines.
    I had an Italian white last night, forgetting how disgusting Italian wine (like their restaurant food) is. Aussie and Californian for me every time!

    Amazing light and shadow in this piece. I am very jealous of your amazing skills. Could you perhaps bottle some of that talent and send it my way?
