The Colours of Evening
Pastel on Colourfix Paper (burgundy) 35cm x 50cm
I just love this time of day! The dry Australian landscape is enhanced by the soft lilacs, pinks and golds that Ma Nature splashes around before she puts the sun away!!!!
The Colours of Evening belongs to the following groups:
* Painted Nature *, Australia! You're Standing In it...., Contemporary Pastel Painters (2 per day), First Things, Hand Drawn or Painted Art of Happiness or Joy, Imaginative Realism, Impressionism Café, Impressionist Art and Landscape Painting
Randy Sprout
There has got to be a song in here somewhere! Very nice the way the light leads you back into the left and then the blue shadows bring you around and back into the painting on the right. Good job!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks for putting such a lot of thought into this really lovely comment Randy. It’s one from the ‘archives’ so not the best quality image, but I did love this painting when I finished it. The location is not far from my home.

A most pleasing impression Lynda. You certainly have the hues nailed as to how the scene would look in the evening…but then you’re the master at that. Hugs & XX, Ron
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks heaps Ron. It is always such a pleasure to receive your wonderful, positive comments.
Varry

Claudia Hansen
Wonderful landscape, dear Lynda! It’s so peaceful… love the way you captured the sun!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you so much Claudia. This is a fantastic comment coming from an artist whose work I admire so much!!!
Alex Gardiner
You colour not only our evenings Lynda but our life. I’d like to repeat what I have said before.
Your Art Lynda, created with imagination love and care,
is not a selfish endeavour,
for such delights can be shared by all.
The Auld Yin.
Lynda Robinson replied
You almost bring a tear to my eye Alex! Thank you for such a fabulous comment!
Colombe Cambo...
Oh this is lovely. There is such a feeling of absolute peace emanating from this! All that’s missing are the smells and the sounds of nature.
I always think it will be hard for you to outdo your last painting, but you do it every time!!!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you Colombe. This is another wonderful comment! XO XO XO
katymckay
There is such a magic at this time of day…and you have captured this so beautifuly !!!!! so peacefull !! have the urge to just stroll there…or as us Scots would say..”lets go roamin in the gloamin !!” our word for this time of evening !
Lynda Robinson replied
Well we have another fantastic ‘gloamin’ evening happening here RIGHT NOW THIS MINUTE Cathy. Wish you could be here! I am going to sit on my verandah, look out over the Tallarook Ranges, and the tops of the trees which constitute my bush block and enjoy a glass of something cold! I wish you could join me! Thanks for a lovely comment.
Corinne Pouzet
Soft, soft, soft painting is the first epithet that comes to my mind…..
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks you for a lovely comment Corinne. XO
nishagandhi
great work
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you so much Nisha!
Dayonda
Lynda, this is BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for bringing it to the Group !!
Dayonda
Ah, I forgot about suggesting a few more Groups:
Desert Heat,
- Sunrise, Sunset photog -Dawn & Dusk Light- Stillness Speaks -Trees- Australian Native Plants -Aussie Bush Paintings. I’m kind of disappointed to see there’s no Group for the Tasmania State. Low population, probably, which is wonderful. Still, there’s one for almost every other State and area. I’m currently trying to learn everything about Oz that I know about the US. Won’t happen for a long time- due to my memory, I guess. As they say, “Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most.”Best- Dayonda
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks for the lovely comment and for all those suggested groups Dayonda. I will investigate! I am already in Aussie Bush Paintings, but not the others. I am eternally grateful and feel really fortunate that I live where I do!!!! Australia is an artists’ paradise!
Elaine Green
Having trouble working out what to say about this Lynda, to really describe how overawed I am!!!!!!!
Lynda Robinson replied
Oh get outta here Elaine!!!! You are so not overawed!!!!! Well if you are I am sooooooo flattered and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Edzie
Lovely work Lynda! Just gorgeous!
Lynda Robinson replied
Fanks Wayne!
Elaine Green
Actually to try to put it into words, I wish I could have been standing in that clearing yesterday when I married my soulmate, we had planned to do it under the old fig tree opposite where we live, but we had the first rainy day in ages so did it in our courtyard instead (it was perfect anyway!) But the colours in your painting would have made for some incredible photos.
Lynda Robinson replied
Oh HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Elaine! Love is in the air!!!! I am heading towards Adelaide tomorrow to attend Simon Aberle’s wedding to Claire O’Brien!!!! My first Invitation to the wedding of people I have never met!!!!! LOL!!! Can’t wait to meet them!!!! They are getting married on the beach! Glad your day was perfect and I wish you many many years of happiness. XO

GEORGE SANDERSON
Another beautiful piece Lynda ! you have a knack of getting the light just right and the shadows are perfect. You portray your country so wonderfully, I would love to visit some of the places you have painted .
We ge documentaries on tv and Australia is always shown as an arid inhosipiable place !!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks heaps George. I agree, those T.V. documentaries focus a lot of the time on the ‘outback’ and inhospitable areas. Australia is so much more! I am really pleased if a little bit of that message is getting across through my art, and thanks for a fantastic comment. Would love to see you here one of these days George!
Ken Powers
I agree with everyone. You nailed the composition and the character of the light in the piece is amazing. Fantastic!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks heaps Ken.
catherine walker

LorusMaver
Ahhh ! Linda ,you see what is there rather than what you think is there,that evening glow where everything takes on a hue of the surrounding colours & casts,that softening of the textures in the mid & far distance & the fact you have captured that ambience of the evening. A real stunner !!!!!!
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks for taking the time to make such a well considered and detailed comment Bill. I really appreciate and look forward to your feedback.
Jim Phillips
Everyone has a time of day that is their time, you’ve done a wonderful job at capturing mine. When the shadows reach just as far as they can and the colour of the surrounding landscape turns to a golden glow, that when I can clear my mine and my problems don’t seem as great. Gorgeous work Lynda. It’s a favorite.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thank you very much Jim. I cannot believe how much thought people put into their comments!!! This is a really special one and I appreciate it more than you will ever realise. xo
louisegreen
Beautiful work Lynda – it shows the glowing colours at that special time of the day.
Lynda Robinson replied
Thanks heaps Louise. Much appreciated and it is great to hear from you.
mikebov

Just sitting by a camp fire watching the shadows lengthen
Magic, who needs a 4 star hotel

Many thanks for a superb comment Mike. Yes, this is another lovely spot and not very far from the river either. There are thousands of ‘4 star hotels’ in the Northern Victoria area of Aus!!!! Pretty cheap accommodation too!
