River Trent and the Valley - Plein air sketch. by Alan Bickley

I for one find it interesting, looks terrific.great depth, your inimitable palette and lots going on. I really like this.

Yes Alan sketches and more finished work equally as accomplished and enquiring. You really do walk with the geniuses

Perfect complimentary colours, and so expressive. Really stunning effects. Lovely work.

Amazing painting Alan, beautiful bold colours, light, shapes. I like much this one.

And you said you were going to pack it all in?? I just love the wads of paint and the painting itself.

Cheers everyone, appreciated, Yes Gudrun, I felt all in with art a few weeks ago but fortunately some small inspiration has returned, I'm finding it easier to work on the spot at present, I suppose that's always been my preferred choice.

Atmosphere in spades in this one, Alan. Stunning, as usual!
