Hi I haven't used pastels in a while but this is the latest

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/vivien/enightbeachpastel002copy.jpg


it's based on sketches done on the beach and memory (there are paintings done from the same sketches on my website, variations on a theme :) )

Unison pastels and compressed charcoal on black paper, 11 inches square, just a small painting.

C&C welcome :)

Love your use of colours and the dramatic feel you have given both in the water and the sky
