Pear blossom and greenhouse

A stunning piece, beautifully nuanced, with great atmosphere and light.

Both of these pictures are just marvelous catching the light (and heat) and the joy of spring. Expertly painted, of course.

And grand it is greenhouses and sheds are magical

Another beautiful impressionistic painting, Haidee. I love your style.

Beautiful work!!

Not many colours, but very colourful, for me it is amazing.

Thank you Dennis, yes I think sheds and greenhouses make fascinating subjects :-)

I can feel the sun shine in this one :)

You have this ability to find these simple subjects and make them interesting Haidee, I do love your style of work.

Full of the joys of Spring, I can almost feel the warm sun and hear the birds!

Such dynamic clever painting. Love all the colours and shapes.

I really doubt that a painting like this could ever be done in a studio, or from a photograph: even though many of us are limited to both, or to painting from imagination or remembered scenes, I think the question still needs to be asked - could this have been painted other than en plein air? I seriously doubt that it could - the vibrancy of the colour is dictated by the challenge of being out there, looking at it and trying to represent it. Oh and did I say? It's absolutely brilliant.

Thank you Caroline - I'm very glad that comes across! Birdsong is what I was hearing when I painted this :-)

Oil painting 8" x 12" painted plein air this week at my local allotments. I love this dilapidated greenhouse and have painted it several times in different seasons. It was looking just grand with the pear tree in blossom beside it.
