After Steve Hall Mark Two

I think this is an improvement, the removal of the car does open up the scene and the shadows work better. A good idea to reflect on a painting and modify, something I rarely do!

Thank you Stephen, I find I analyse my paintings constantly and often feel the need to have another go and include any adjustments I think necessary. Although it does not always result in an improved painting.

So idyllic. A beautiful painting, Barry.

Yes, that works so much better. Excellent work, Barry.

Thank you Ellen and Lewis, it’s good to have your own thoughts about a painting confirme

More old world without the car, I like this Barry.

Thank you Carole, totally agree although I do tend to paint what I see in this case leaving the car out has improved the painting.

With or without the car, I think it’s a great painting.

Totally agree with Stephen and Lewis...really opens the scene up, Beautiful now, though i really did love the other one too!

I haven’t seen mark 1 Barry but this is a wonderful country scene in all my favourite colours! Gorgeous.

Thank you Seth and Thalia, we are all agreed a good decision.

Beautifully painted Barry, Thoroughly agree removal of the care really opens the scene

Yes. Sometimes we do need to remove or add on something to make it look better. Lovely painting whatever Barry.

Great work, Barry. The light and shadows work well together, and the muted palette is a real treat. Brian

A beautiful day in the countryside well captured Barry.

Thank you Fiona, David, Dorothy, Brian and Ibolya, for such lovely comments I also got Steve Halls seal of approval when I saw him last night.
