Randolph's Leap

Missed ya........ hope you have done some more planes!!!!

Thanks Peter - yes I have, but they're commissions for RAF Squadron 100th Anniversaries, so they're top secret until the dates come along. It's frustrating not being able to show the work I've done, but I will when I can!

Super fresh, luminous watercolour.

Gorgeous watercolour Rob!

Yes! Nice and loose and glowing with movement. The eye cannot help but follow the river into that little gap. Like the colours too.

Thanks Michael. It was nice to keep looser than I often do and just let the colours do the work. You can probably see 1000 trees from here, so loose was probably the only way ahead! It was the light through the trees at left, and their silhouette effect, which drew me to the scene, and I'm pleased that the dark area at left worked OK.

Thank you Stephen and Fiona! I really wanted the light and colour to be the theme.

Thanks Willie - it's a natural composition isn't it? I was pleased with the light and colour...

Lovely colours Rob, a great painting

Thank you David!

Nice watercolour fresh and bright, Rob.

Thanks Cesare!

Don't jump! very skilled technique to simplify it and depict a smashing subject

Thank you Derek - as I was doing it I was wondering if I'd overdone the simplification with the trees, but I was happy with it in the end!
