Challenging Greens and Jacobean Crewel

Sue Embrey  wrote "... thought I’d share this as it was a real challenge to get the greens right. I had to keep thinking warm or cool! It’s a place called Chiltern in Victoria and it reminds me a little of the beech woods near High Wycombe. Fun to do!!  Pastel on mount card."
