This is just precious, the sweet little girl sitting up on the boardwalk above the water, I like that she is barefooted and her toes are splashing in the water, she holds a flower that she picked from the clump that grows on the back side of the boardwalk.
This is so well created with excellent attention to the details , it's so well arranged and I appreciate the show of light and shadows,
Very well presented!

A lovely pastel of this little girl dreaming of the future. A thoughtful pose with toes dangling in the water surrounded by flowers. A feel good painting.

You've captured a wonderful moment! Such a tender scene with the girl's moment with nature! The framing is well-thought-out, and the use of light and shadows adds both depth and character. The colors are vibrant, and the composition ties everything together seamlessly. Excellent effort!

Maureen, this cute girl with her toes dangling in the water creates a warm atmosphere for the sketches she creates while on the dock. Another great illustration and a wonderful example of your prowess in soft pastels. Ray

What I love about your work is it shouts YOU! It's looks indeed traditional. As far as traditional art, I love artists like Robert Bateman who I find my inspiration behind but I love your work as well. The softness and details are wonderful. Thanks for sharing!!

    I too love Robert Bateman. When I first started doing artwork, I centred on animals and wildlife. Now I’ve just extended myself to doing people and events. You’ve really touched my heart with your wonderful review. Thank you so much.

Great soft pastel here Maureen of a little girl dreaming while sitting on a dock. Her surroundings have a dream like feel. Great colours and textures and composition. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

Maureen, I am always impressed with your beautiful work, using pastels. This little girl dreaming takes me back into the world of my childhood. Spent many days playing outside, daydreaming, and pretending, and that looks as what this little girl might be doing. Maybe she is you dreaming of being a famous artist one day?
This may sound kind of weird, but I think that you did a great job on the big rock. I find that rocks are one of the hardest things to paint. I don't really know why, but they are! Using the green background makes it appears as though she's sitting in a beautiful grassy area with your toes in the stream. Great job!

Maureen, this pastel painting is a sweet portrayal of a little girl sitting on a dock, her feet just barely touching the water, surrounded by wildflowers in shades of pink and purple. The scene exudes a sense of innocence and tranquility, capturing moment of simple joy and reflection.

The artist's use of pastels brings a soft, dreamy quality to the painting, enhancing the overall feeling of serenity. The delicate strokes and subtle blending of colors create a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the girl's quiet world.

    Thanks Maureen - I notice that some of your posts are not promoted and will only receive two reviews before expiring from the 'View' feed. So, I've actually wondered, "Should I skip and allow others to chime in?". LOL
