Description
I had the opportunity and the inspiration at the same time to create this landscape with Soft pastel on Velour paper this afternoon. Took me about 3 hours with a coffee break in between. Well, I am glad to finally do some decent art. Not a masterpiece, but decent.
Have a great Day / evening. This afternoon the weather changed to cloudy, but the wind is now light. Perrrfect :)
Thank you for your kind comments to my prev post :-)

Beautiful! I love how you have the warmth of the image shift to cooler in the background and how the lines of your image draw the eye into the picture.

Beautifiul, soft and vivid landscape, with beautiful contrasts, Helle. Esp because soft pastels can make contrasts not-so-easy. (I did a ton of drawings with soft pastels, and almost threw them out the window.) Your greens are so lush---some of them yellow-tinged, some bright green, some rust-tinged, etc. The trees are like green cotton candy. (You have cotton candy in Denmark, right?) The whites on the houses are beautifully bold, the water has an almost oil paint feel, you have flowing lines throughout, and a beautiful soft and multi-hued sky---actually quite a dramatic sky. You did contrast beautifully in this piece, mixed with such vivid strong hues; and the two little splotches of growths in the lower corners are sweet 'ornaments' to frame the bottom. A beautiful sweeping and intimate landscape, and I love how the pastels bleed over into the frame. (Or "dust" over into it: Maybe bleed is the wrong word for a dry medium.) It's so great to see you painting and drawing again. I know it's been a long haul---an artistic dry spell---but you shine whenever you return. I hope you can do this for a long time to come. This is beautiful.

Oh darn, anahata.c/Mark took the words right out of my mouth and stole my thunder! Now I have to think up a new comment…..so here goes: Great colors and textural patterns in this pretty pastel interpretation of the lovely Danish countryside, Helle. It looks like it's about to rain in this one. So, not as all encompassing as Mark's comment, but I tried. Also, it rained here yesterday and today. Not enough to break the drought though.

Helle, you certainly have outdone yourself this time. This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful pastels I've seen in a long time.

This is terrific! You've really got this pastel thing down pat, and your result is wonderful. I get such a sense of peace and calm looking at this picture. I bet the people who live there would be excited to see this! :)
