(Light) Caught in the Branches - late WIP by Amanda Bates

I really like the semi abstract style of these two latest postings Amanda. They have the look of stained glass. Beautiful!

I hesitate to say what might be your best yet, but this is the one I like best. It's largely if not entirely a matter of personal taste, but I prefer the more subdued colours in this to one or two of your recent landscape paintings, because here the forms dominate and the mosaic-like touches of colour are restrained - so serving rather than competing with them for attention.

Christine and Robert have said it all and I would add smashing. You have a different and to me unique technique in capturing tree branches and it works.

Beautiful! I really like the feeling of lying under the tree and looking up through the branches.

Thank you, all. I'm rather pleased with the way this one turned out - it is part of an ongoing experiment type of thing - and it's nice to see that others like it, too. Speaking of how it turned out, here is the finished piece on my blog: http://blog.amandabatesart.co.uk/2015/03/light-caught-in-branches.html

I like both of these new postings Amanda, they have a stylised feel. Great blend of colours.

Super expressive style - love those colours
