Thank you very much, Russell! I must admit I've missed the place but life has a terrible habit of getting in the way of so many things. Covid has a lot to answer for. Appreciate the comments very much. Bri

Lovely to see your work again Brian. Love the tranquility and stillness of this lovely scene, especially your skill in painting such a variety of greens within the trees and foliage.

Thank you very much, Ronald and Carole, for the great comments. Appreciated, as always. This angling pond is very close to where I live and is part of a local nature reserve. Lovely spot. Bri

Great that you're back, and with your usual excellent work. I like everything about it, the sun on the far trees and the beautifully rendered water.

Beautifully painted and a superb scene , the reflections are stunning I had to look at it several time as I thought it was a photo at first.
