Lovely painting Barry. It's nice to see another aspect of Castle Coombe besides the famous bridge. Glad you had a good day. Hope the weather was kind.

Thank you Pete, although I avoided the bridge Jem didn't but his version has his unique mark upon it.

Thank you Karen, it was very enjoyable.

I'm sure I wouldn't need to guess twice regarding the unique mark on Jems painting. A lovely loose but informative watercolour Barry.

The introduction of strong contrasts has produced a splendid painting Barry , the roof colours work beautifully against the grey sky , lovely painting Thanks also for the Dr Dolittle trivia

Thank you Dermot, I did have to adjust as it was a dull day but pleased with the outcome. Re the trivia I understand that there have been many film crews in the village and there was a scene in a Dick Turpin TV series or film produced there a while ago.

Yes it's a grand spot and this is it.

Out with our group today at Castle Coombe a lovely Wiltshire village famous for the filming of Dr Doolittle.

Very enjoyable day out with friends of a similar dissuasion.
