Swan Lake

Lovely water. Has a Monet touch. Great.

Beautiful and serene, as Carole says, very like Monet.

Thank you very much dear Carol and Val, for your compliments! Masters like Monet could show life and movements in water.

Hi Behzad, this is very nice indeed. Definitely an impressionist feel to it. I prefer it to "Swan Lake II" because of the limited colour range and the swan (surely the main point) stands out much better than in the later painting. I think the water is excellent.

Thank you Mrs Laux; these type of comments from prominent painters make me feel a bit uncomfortable!

Sorry about the delay in replying I have been in the US. Thankyou very much for your kind comments on my pictures. I hope you don't mean me with "prominent" - I am just a beginner.Unlike you I have never tried oils or even acrylics . Did you start off with oils? Do you use the water-based oil colours? I can't stand the smell of turpentine but would like to try one day.
