The location for
Virtual Paintout this month is Romania. What a beautiful country! I think the Google truck must have been there in the spring because everything looked so fresh. I spent a couple of hours looking through the country roads. I wanted to stop but I had to see what was around the next curve, and the next, and the next. Well you get the picture. Finally, I got hungry and that was the end of the search online and the beginning of the new search for something good to eat.
This one is done with soft pastels. I wanted to work with the oil pastels again but thought this scene would look better in the soft pastels. After I finished this, I did do an oil pastel painting which I was going to post but after I took the photo of it, I noticed that I need to add some more darks. It's funny how a painting looks done but a photo of it show it's flaws so clearly.

What a beautiful, peaceful scene and I love the way you captured it with such a soft look.
ReplyDeleteNancy, this is so beautiful! I'm not sure how, but it has a 3-dimensional look to it even on my computer monitor. I love this!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa and Sherry.
ReplyDeleteA lovely scene, beautifully done. So serene, makes me want to be there now! The pastel works well on this one!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary Anne. I thought pastels would be the best medium for this. It's such a fun, non-stressful medium to use so this was a very relaxing painting to do.
ReplyDeleteYou really captured the feel of the European countryside. I feel like I am there-wonderfully done Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy. I would love to visit this area in real life.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Nancy and it looks as though pastels love you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linny. Your style would look really good done in pastels too.
