Travel Theme: Trees
In a bluebell wood. Soft pastel © wildsherkin
This pastel painting was inspired by a visit to Courtmacsherry Bluebell Woods.Now that it is bluebell time of the year again, I thought I would share this picture…which, to my great surprise, has sold at a recent exhibition in Cork.
With thanks for Ailsa for her travel theme on trees.
Superb! Absolutely exquisite, and I can see why *anyone* who loves a walk in the woodland would love having this for his or her own. In fact, if you have a good digital document of it, I’d bet you could sell lots of prints of this beauty. 😉 Really magical, Patsy!

Belated thanks! Px
Love this painting. Beautifully done! 🙂
Thanks Amy, and thank you for introducing Mary and her beautiful oil pastels.
I’ve been saving this one Patsy 😉
Congratulations ! Well I can perfectly see why that red dot would be there . Lovely filtered light through the wood trees make a dreamy bluebell haze with your soft pastels 🙂
Wonder if you’ll have time to visit again this year … ours on the Hills are a smidgen away from their peak .I’ll have to make sure I dash round on any sunny days coming .
Thanks Poppy, I would love to think that I will have time to go to those woods again. Those bluebells don’t hang around for long though… 🙂
Could I spend this weekend in that painting? (Or move in altogether.) So lovely & dreamy. ♥
Make yourself at home, Lotta 🙂
Thank you for your lovely comment.
Great !
A beautiful one.
Many thanks Rupali.
Beautiful!
Thank you! Your blog….your work….is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more. P
No surprise. It’s a stunning painting! Congrats : )
Thank you, Anna, and all the better to discover that it wasn’t a family member or a friend:) The red dot really was a surprise though!
Good painting. I love the atmosphere of the piece.
Thanks Kerry, I’m still a novice so it is lovely to hear that I may have captured the atmosphere of those lovely woods.
it’s beautiful Patsy no wonder someone wanted it for their very own, congrats on the sale, Frances
Thanks Frances. It was a nice little boost. 🙂
Well done, You!
OMG, how many of your posts have I missed! I’m off to catch up to see what you have been up to. Thank you!
It won’t take long…I’ve posted about the same as you have! Congrats, Patsy, on the sale of your pastel! That is just great!!
I’ve just loved your ‘Lost in Location’ post. I see that comments are closed so I will say ‘ditto’ to what everyone else has said. You are a great travel writer, capturing the essence of a place. So congrats right back to you. Px
