Pastel Painting in Progress…..

…….. very slow progress. The view in my painting is shown in the photo fastened in the top left hand corner. It is a scene I photographed one winter morning some years ago. It is looking across the fog enshrouded Wairau plains, from a viewpoint on the Wither Hills, to the Richmond Range. And the colours in the photo are exactly straight out of camera with no editing. It’s taking me ages to finish the painting. My fellow artist friends create lots of painting to my one. I talk too much and I tell them I am there for the fun company. One day I will finish my painting , get it framed and give it to my daughter. She loves walking on the Wither Hills and will know that view.
