" LAKESIDE"

16.4.09. Diana Hudson, i really like this, the light reflected on the water is lovely, may i surggest that the back of the trees away from the light, near the viewer would be better darker with the light shining just on the edges.?

16.4.09. Diana Hudson, What colour do you use for that lovely red in the sky ? is it rose madder ?

Thanks Diana, yes your right about the dark on the tree, its another very old pic,.... just starting out when this was done,..... and you know me and ,.."rules",... "what are they "..!!!!! lol. not sure what colour i used in the sky,....it could have been Rose -Madder, as iv'e allways used this colour. Best Wishes Rhian. ( irene )

24.4.09. Bill ( Billbow ) Bowen, Hello Rhian, The colours used here are beautiful, they blend so well, the remark about the back of the trees may very well be "correct ", but if they were, then i think it would detract from the overall effect. Much Love Gaynor. ( Bills Wife )

Hello Gaynor, many thanks for stopping by to view my work, also for your very kind comments. i am a very big admirer of Bills painting style, and have even been inspired to try and emulate his Barge paintings,...but so far have failed,.... to find that certain something that makes his work stand out from the crowd so to speak. thanks again. regards Rhian ( irene )

I really love the colours of this painting. It almost makes you blink ! beautiful.

love this painting and so inspiring, i like the way the tree is done - it seems to be sucking the lovely colour from the sky. Norah

Thankyou Beatrice and Norah, for your lovely comments they are much appriciated. Regards Rhian. ( irene ).

I like this very much Rhian, as usual, your choice of colours is superb. Love Bill

Thankyou Bill, i really do appriceate your kind comments and your very encouraging words. Love Rhian ( irene )

Irene. Wonderful work. You have such skill with watercolour. I haven't noticed you commenting lately? Not that I have much myself. I do hope you are well and everything is OK. Best wishes Jeannette x
