Nottingtree

Looks like the South of France Amanda! Seriously, it's very good, like the movement of the brush strokes on the trunk.

Ah, well, very cosmopolitan, Nottingham :-) I think it's the colours. Thank you, Marjorie.

You don't see enough paintings of Nottingham i (I mean that, I'm from that part of the world). I really like the colours you've used and how the tree frames the view. I like the use of acrylic markers too.

Than you, Kay. I'm from just down the road in Melton Mowbray, and while I now live in Hampshire, I have family in Nottingham.

This is so colourful and expertly painted Amanda. Love the tree. Is that Nottingham castle on the left? and I can see the windmill (Ithink) Great little painting.

A smashingly decorative tree I'd have in my garden anytime. Your colours are so good and the composition is perfect, will PM you hopefully

Interesting, this - strong colour in the sky (lovely blue,by the way) often means the painting gets a bit dark - but this is full of light. Also, a heavily twigged tree in the foreground usually just gets in the way of everything and gives you a fussy and over-complicated painting - and yet this one doesn't. Food for thought, there -- I think the scale helps it a lot: a smaller painting might have looked a bit crowded.

That blue... I think it must be the Molotow "Blue Shock Medium" that you were remarking upon, Robert. It is a lovely colour. I rather thought that A3 was possibly a little small for the subject (Nottingham is a big city ... I don't think you can see the castle here, Carole, but I may be wrong. My grasp of Nottingham's geography is largely limited to walking around the shops (as they were in the 1980s) and the A606 / A52 route to Wollaton. Oh, I can get to Broad Marsh, too). Rather pleasing to have confounded Robert's expectations with this one.
