Bridge , Botanical Gardens , Malaga

Pastel on Clairefontaine Pastelmat
15 " X 12"
Frustrated after 2 hours working at different site, packed up and had an hour to try capture an ornamental metal bridge over a narrow leaf choked stream.. Used square chalky pastels in quick graphicy style on maroon coloured background try capture the variety foliage shapes... Who said painting relaxing !!!

Comment by Norah Blount on July 18, 2016 at 14:55: It is good after a few frustrating starts to produce something like this Meg. I know, you just have to smile and agree when some says how relaxed you look when painting

Comment by meg leahy on July 17, 2016 at 22:27: Thanks Dick... It was my total frustration that produced the patterned type painting... Genuinely often want to scream when people say... " ah, isn't that a lovely hobby, painting, so relaxing"..... But I just smile and nod..!!!!!!!!
