This picture was painted for the A Day Not Wasted June challenge, but I missed the deadline and posted a pen and ink sketch instead. This is my first painting in oils. It took a bit of getting used to from the drying point of view, but otherwise I quite enjoyed painting it.
I sketched this painting in pen for my husband's birthday card. I have posted it on theA Day Not Wasted June challenge. I have also started to paint it in oils, for the colours are great.
Soft pastel and pastel pencil on white Colourfix paper.
16"x 23"
Lee Brown (A Day Not Wasted ) is a superb photographer, and he kindly gave me permission to create this painting from a photo he took in France, I believe during a trip to Europe last year.
