CHEE DALE (2) Derbyshire

A nice array of different greens and great picture :)

A real beauty, Charles with so many components - the strength of the rocks, the variety of greens and the moving water. It demonstrates your skills!

Green with envy Charles - a great painting

Very nice Charles, the rocks look vary realstic.

Beautiful painting Charles

Completely recognizable style - another great painting. I don't completely understand the difficulty with painting greens, to be honest - I think people get frightened of them; whereas a green-tending blue, like Pthalo, and a green-tending yellow, like Lemon Yellow, will give most of us a good range of bright greens: then all you need to do is modify them, by mixing in the complementary colour, which is red..... This seems to induce total panic in some - who will always resort to tube greens; nothing wrong with those, but a basic understanding of the way colours work together is always going to be preferable to just stabbing the brush in a range of tube greens and hoping for the best. Some want to paint like Titian, while doing no work in understanding colour - t'aint going to work.....

This one attracted me to your gallery. I must say it is a very fine collection.

A beauty Charles. Well done.

Another masterclass in greens Charles.

Three of my favourits elements here Charles; water, limestone crags and trees!! It's a winner with me.

A I agree with Val, another superb masterclass in the use of that tricky colour (and my bete noire) GREEN! You just deal with the colour easily and pull off a painting that is full of light and beauty. Great work.

An epic piece, Charles! Beautifully done indeed!

Love all your work Im often in Cromford and this captures that feeling of green beauty and calm.
