"Edge of the Wood" ( first) by Patricia French

Good to see the two versions, Patricia. I agree about the figures, and it looks like you've done more work on the bluebells. Two good paintings.

Well spotted Lewis, you are right. I did paint in more greens as well, and softened the background. The foreground was darkened with more shadow. Thank you for your comments. Kind regards Patricia French

Definitely like this better Patricia, the darker foreground just makes it. Love bluebell woods, so beautiful.

Lovely painting and, yes, the toned down 'blue' and the 'lost' figure make the difference -splendid.

Like them both - but this one better - lovely work

Like this one very much.

This is so much better, more natural . Makes it a better composition, Love it.

Thank you Carole, Willie, Maureen, Sarah and Fred for all your helpful feedback, Much appreciated. Kind regards, Patricia

lovely !
