Shipton Under Wychwood Oxon 12 x 18.5 "

Really accomplished - in compositions such as this with a distinct division between the foreground and middleground there is always the danger that you end up cutting the picture in two but you have prevented this by the slight break in the line on the right and the superb introduction of the great shadows and darks in the right foreground - a lovely piece. By the way many thanks Chris for your kind comments on my Boathouse.

Chris, I'm not great at analysing why paintings are successful or not, but this is such a beautifully painted scene of the English rural scene at its best, and it just sits so easily on the eye. I greatly admire your skill - and I guess that lots of practice also plays a part. Thanks for posting your work here - it's an inspiration.

Lovely job Chris, you have given the painting depth and lit it well working with a limited palette, very good.

Beautiful , I love the limited palette.

A super painting Chris, love the palette you've used.

Really lovely - love the composition and the rendering of the trees. So much variety which contributes to the unity of the whole.

Very accomplished watercololour as we have come to expect, plus now jokes too!
