What a delight...free and loose.

Thank you Sylvia! That's very kind. I was out with my 'pupil' (as I've just started giving some little classes on Fridays) and we went up there together. It was very misty, but as always a delight to try and catch what's in front of you. All the best, Shirley.

A lovely spontaneous painting, love the loose style.

I really admire the freedom you get into your work. Great sense of the countryside you are painting and it is done with a lack of fuss which is great.

Thia is absolutely beautiful, such soft, gentle colours.

Thank you Benita for your kind words. I think I will go back there soon and do some more painting. It's so nice to sit and hear the birds and enjoy the lovely place.
