Hi Dennis,    I've been gone for most of the year and I really enjoyed the class.  I am looking forward to catching up with the rest of the classes and my friends on PB.

So nice to see you back here.  We missed you.

Lovely pastel landscape.  Love the soft flowers in the foreground.

Like the light in the background.

So soft and appealing.

Hope to see more of your work more often.

Thank you Mea for the comments.  I missed everyone as well.  Just a lot of things going on, new job, still rehabbing my arm but doing well.

Thank you Dennis for the encouragement.  I felt off and it was a bit hard to loosen up, and my sheep look like blobs but It felt so good to sit and paint and I didn't realize how much I missed hearing you in my headphones!

    Lisa, Welcome, it is so good to see you and to hear that you are healing well and back to painting. Your pastel painting is beautiful. What got my attention initially, was the way you captured the light in the background, on top of the trees and mid-ground so very well. An excellent job.

your sheep look very much like sheep to me.. wait until you see my.. um... tree???  geez... lol I'm up to the foreground now, so maybe tomorrow, had to take a break and feed dogs .. just started pastels.. and yes, out of order.. oops.. probably will start at the beginning once I finish this one.  New pastels.. well new about 10 years ago and have been waiting for me.. don't want to draw well..

[Lisa gale]

Christina ,  I think you could handle pastels very well.  Your colored pmcil drawings are awesome!

[Lisa gale]

Lin,  I'm glad you're trying pastels.   I really like them.  I tried watercolor and that was disastrous lol. Then Dennis stared the pastel class and It just seemed to fit.   And I love the bright colors. 

[Lin1945]

  I usually use watercolor. though I like colored pencils as well.. I tried the pastels when I first got them and made a muddy mess.. lol

[Lin1945]

ok, here is my first pastel painting..    lousy photo, have a cheap cell phone..  anyway.. tree is umm ... yeah.. and so are bushes.. but I did better than I thought I would, different than watercolors.. lol.    Have at it people   I need all the help I can get. 

[MaryAnne Long]

Lin,

Don't apologize for this one.  It looks really good.   Nice work on the sheep.

Good shape on the big tree.

First pastel??? It certainly doesn't show.
