Love those chimney tops against the lush foliage and your loose brushstrokes in the foreground. You’ve also done a super job on the houses John.

This combination of beautifully painted trees and the buildings with its "loose" work really brings out the foliage and the structures.

In 2020 I was reserve...again!!! Wasn't needed so painted as a wildcard, boiling hot day and a great atmosphere. Maybe I should have painted the reservoir but I thought this was prettier.
