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

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

Perhaps I'll have a look for some flower studies on this gloomy day so starting with a pastel sketch of alstroemeria. #pastel #flowers #botanical #art

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

Shawls, pastel (one of my old May Week theme drawings) #Cambridge #mayball #pastel

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

Pastel of Newnham Mill pond, Cambridge, with punts and the Granta pub. Note the ducks swimming through the water lilies in the foreground. #pastel #cambridge #newnham #punting

A little pastel I did. Art soothes the soul in these trying times… #art #pastel #trees #sky

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

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

Another painting of parrot tulips, this time a pastel. These are in a favourite vintage glass jug which is a bit wonky and I like that. This was framed and sold and I think I probably pastelled out the white blank area top right. #pastel #flowers #tulips
