One of my pastels from nearly 30 years ago showing a path across Jesus Green in Cambridge. I think this was late in the year with a few leaves hanging on to the trees with some autumn colour remaining. It was bought by a late friend and is now with his family. #Cambridge #pastel #painting
A pastel showing a figure walking along a path with trees against a misty light. This was done on a vintage sheet of maroon-coloured Ingres paper.

Pastel still life, including a nice vase bought in a shop attached to an auction house, some ranunculus flowers, alstroemeria and an iris. The dried items on the right came from a bag of pot pourri. This was probably sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition. #pastel #flowers

Life-drawn portrait of Lorna, a frequent sitter in the '90s who lived nearby, pastel on Ingres paper. I still have this one hanging on the wall and others are in her possession. Unfortunately she is now too far away now to add to the collection. #art #pastel #drawfromlife #portrait

Trumpington Street, Cambridge, with the Loch Fyne restaurant, pastel (sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition. The channel that runs along the side of the road is Hobson's Conduit. I love drawing and painting chimneys. #Cambridge #pastel
Cambridge tiled roofs along Trumpington Street. Someone has a parasol up because of the hot sun.

Here's a quite large pastel drawing done sitting on the river bank at Byron's Pool, Trumpington Cambridge. Byron is said to have swum here. Perhaps his anarchic spirit was at work. #art #lordbyron #pastel #byronspool
A large plein air pastel from a few years ago, done from the banks of the river at Byron's Pool, Trumpington (a local nature reserve).This is in soft pastel as opposed to oil pastel. I think I went a little wild with this one.

Just one more pastel flower painting for now. A carnation and freesia painting with a couple of anenomes and some ivy plus a shell that has been in several artworks. This one dates from the millenium and is on someone else's wall. See alt txt. #pastel #flowers #millenium
I never know whether to call a work in pastel a painting or a drawing. I suppose it's a painting if it has broad areas of colour and a drawing if it is mainly linear (I tend to use ContΓ© sticks for line work). I have used pastel since I was a child so that's a long time!

Another pastel still life with lilies and a shell. It's not signed in this photo but I think it might have sold ages ago. #pastel #stilllife #lilies
