It’s a beauty Alan. Oh photographs exaggerate enormously these days.

I really love this Alan, superb colours. I turned to November on my POL calendar this a.m.and your beautiful painting 'First Frost, view from window' greeted me.

Thanks John and Carole. Yes I did also Carole, I’d completely forgotten about it.

Absolutely beautiful Alan- the sky, The reflections, the silhouettes of the trees and the deep colours just set them all off.

Stunning sky Alan.

Great mood and colour - your brush work is confident and enlivens this painting. It is also very beautiful!

Love this Alan, with its strong tonal contrasts and that splash of red in the sky.

Thanks again, sunsets are always a challenge. They can so easily become chocolate box paintings.

Posted by Alan Bickley on Sat 02 Nov 08:15:11

Such wonderful colours and great composition - I love your work.

40 x 50cm oil on board. Another rapid oil sketch painted from my studio window on Sunday evening. It’s one of several that I painted the same day, inspired by the flooded landscape. The dramatic evening sky just begged to be painted, albeit I’ve slightly exaggerated some colours, as is the norm with my work. One reason that I became an artist, not a photographer!
