Busy summer days are over, so I can finally concentrate on painting again. I started this one last Tuesday and this is the result of 2.5 hours of painting. The medium I’m using is soft pastel, and the size is 28 3/4 X 20 3/4 in (or 73 X 52.6 cm). More progress photos coming next week…

I like the sharplines of the boats against the softness of the countryside.
Thanks Darryl! It’s still unfinished… I am excited to work on it again this week!
It’s been a while, Sibella. Nice to see some of your artwork again. Beautiful blues and greens in the background.
Thanks so much Kathleen! 🙂
I like the perspective of the boats and the background… You are so talented.
Thanks Bobbi, I like the perspective as well! That’s actually what attracted me to the photo that I am painting from. 🙂
Lovely–my memory may be off as to the river, but I am pretty sure when my dad visited we went rafting on the Una-Sava!
Thanks Sara! This may be Una or Sava (the photo is not mine, it was sent by a friend and I never checked which river is it..) By the wide boats I would say it is Sava… 🙂
I really like how you’ve done the water. I can’t wait to see this one finished – I’m amazed at your artistic talent Sibella!
Thanks Korena! I can’t wait to get this one done either! It is so good to paint again, after the summer break! 😉
