On a beautiful, clear summer day, there is no better place to be than on the sea. For today's pastel painting, we are sailing away.

Can you smell the delightful salt air and feel the breeze on your face? Trim the main sail and head her up into the wind! Many thanks to Sollermann Heiner who provided the reference photo via Pixabay.
Earlier this week, we spent time in a field of poppies.

Until next time,
Yes, can hear the gulls and the taste the salt from the waves! Lovely! Seascape is my fave!

Both of these are excellent. Your seagulls are very well done.

These are pastel?! Ah, I am so amazed by anyone who can paint/work with pastels. They are impossible for my artistic mind to do! Your artwork is so vibrant and beautiful.

Your "Sail Away" painting is utterly wonderful, I can feel the breeze and the splash of the sea. Then your poppies are so calm. Such skilful pastel art.

Pastels are not my favorite medium and I am always a bit floored when they behave in someone's hands! Your poppies are especially wonderful.
