Out of the Blue

Great piece. Love the foreground and the hazy atmosphere.

How do you achieve that lovely misty atmosphere.??? Lovely ,lazy, hazy days of summer. Like lots.

Beautifully atmospheric, lovely palette.

Very very nice, Alan, wonderfully atmospheric and as Lesley says, a lovely palette.

A lovely dreamy painting.

Dreamy and romantic scene. Has an ethereal quality . Beautiful Alan.

It has the quality of a mirage - very mysterious.

Thank you all for such positive comments, much appreciated!!

Thank you for sharing this. It is very beautiful and romantic. It ignites the imagination.

Gorgeous colours and hazy effect. I would probably have blurred the two figures a little so that the viewer has to peer through the haze to see them. (And having done so, I'd probably then sharpen them up again when I saw it didn't work!)
