It will be a fine harvest by Alix Baker

The quality of light is typical of your work Alix, though the style is indeed a little unusual. But yes it does work, at first the thumbnail on the gallery page reminded me of a classic railway poster, though on seeing the full sized image I can see it is more abstract. Even so, it is a like from me.

Nice composition.

I agree with Tony, what's the medium Alix?

Tony and Kal, thank you so much for your comments. Light is probably because I have extremely rarely had a studio with any light remotely suitable for painting so I go bold! Not so unusual for me: going back to an old style of mine.

Heather, thank you. It's acrylic on canvas board.

Sorry that should have been Alice. Predictive text nuisance.

Carole, a double Alice - you can't win with predictive text!! Thank you very much for your comments.

Wonderful style and lively use of stylised shapes and colours.

Thank you so much, Spencer. I just feel so lucky that the sleepless nights were worth it!

Why is it that a painting planned and seen clearly inside the brain doesn’t always turn out as envisaged and takes far more work constantly adjusting? Anyway, here is a local view a very short distance from my garden. Farmland gives an ever-changing landscape during the year’s cycle plus the many weathers that pass through and over it. Question is: does this painting work? Would love to know so please do leave an honest comment…
