Another beautiful painting, Carole. Had a friend who lived in New Hartley so know the location fairly well.

Thank you so much for such supportive comments David, Stephen, Christine, Lynda and Tessa. I have lost my confidence because I have macular degeneration and I’m struggling to see properly. Have adapted my style to accommodate this so feeling a little unsure of myself. Thank you so much for giving me back some confidence. It means so much to me.

Like the idea of an acrylic underpainting with oil pastels on top. I think you are gutsy to tackle such a difficult subject as a walk in the woods which reveals your love of that particular place. The foreground trees are skillfully painted with volume and character leading into light and beauty.

Was inspired to paint this from a walk in the woods nearby where I live. The sun was shining through the trees and it looked ready for autumn to descend. Painted from my photos at home. Used an acrylic underpainting and finished off with oil pastels 30 cm x 42 cm, on pastel paper.
