And finally....
....a clump of trees beside the River Arrow at Eardisland, one of the very picturesque 'Black and White Villages' of Herefordshire.
And look! - the tree trunks are brown!
The same goes for these trees on the bank of the River Monnow near Monmouth - some look greyish but mostly definitely brown! Could it be something to do with trees that grow close to water perhaps?
Well, that's it for my pastel paintings of trees.
I hope you have enjoyed them and many thanks to all who have commented. You've given me some useful insights into what I've been getting up to when I get out my soft pastels!
Thank you!

Very nice, love the way you handled the grass! Wish I was walking around there....
Hi Mary Anne - thank you! As it happens, I always feel a bit daunted by a lot of grass, partly because I find too much green difficult to handle. In more recent paintings, I've added a lot more other colours to the grass in the foreground and I think it worked better.
Judy, I loved seeing your series of Tree paintings. You are truly amazing with those soft pastels!
Ever thought about painting birds? OK...I just had to ask.:)
I've really enjoyed looking at your tree paintings. I especially love how many of the pieces are so gestural. Pastels really lend themselves to that.
Thank you, Jean. As you know, soft pastels are my absolutely favourite medium!
I haven't so far thought much about painting birds - but you never know, I might have a go in the future!
Hi Nicki - ah yes, gesture! That's another thing that always seems to catch my eye and beg to be painted!
Glad you enjoyed my trees. I didn't realise I'd done so many!
You have a way with trees and landscapes. Just beautiful! :-)
I have really enjoyed these paintings Judy. Your appreciation and love for what you see when you paint is priceless.
Hi Crystal and Betsy - thank you for your kind comments. I'm glad you've enjoyed my tree paintings.
All your comments have provided me with some very interesting and useful insights into my paintings!
