This is lovely, so cool and green. Beautifully done.

I commend your spirit and am grateful that you are sharing your work with us. This is an exciting painting, full of vim and vigour.

Ah - I like to paint and draw standing up, but half the time I can't do it.... I've been very fortunate though, in not getting arthritis in my fingers; I can just about begin to imagine what that's like - movements I can still take for granted being painful or impossible. Still, we carry on because we've no bloody choice! You'd never know you had such problems from this painting; greens sort of grow before your eyes - before you know where you are, they've covered the paper or canvas. Still, as someone said (John Blockley, I think) if you see a jungle, paint a jungle. I've taken a considerable amount of comfort from that advice!

You'd never know you've had difficulty painting this, Charles. It's a beautiful woodland scene with such depth I feel I could walk into it. Great light and shade too.

Out of diversity etc. Despite your problems you have really made something special out of this scene and I take my hat off to you Charles.

Green again but such a wonderful mixture of greens and all looking so natural. I can see myself walking that lane wondering just what is around that corner. I hope you feel better soon, I know arthritis doesn't go away but sometimes eases with the weather conditions, lets hope for more dry sunny weather!

Great work, love your depth of colour and detail of your compositions.

Lovely composition here, and you've captured the height of summer so well, beautiful work.

Beautiful Charles......... a lush vision with wonderful lighting.

A stunning painting Charles, how you manage all that delicious green detail beats me!

Darling Charles. What a gorgeous painting! I love that addition of white (bottom right), the rich colour and wonderful light!

Super work Charles, I like the white details in the right foreground,against the dark foliage, nice touch.

A fantastic painting. We all know different greens are difficult to master, but you've done it!

A daunting scene, Charles, but pulled off with your usual panache. Superb.

Painted on Bockingford 250lb not -8"x 12" --- I've known this little spot for a large number of years --- Its off the Via Gellia road ,Derbyshire ( A5012) -- its known as Wisels Wood --- So last Wed 1st Aug pulled in to the little track that runs through the wood to take a photo --- Blimey I was met with such a vast array of greens it was unbelievable - But I have had ago - and I'm happy with the results ---- ----- I'm having a bad bout of arthritis in my fingers again at the moment- struggling to use keyboard - even having to use masking tape to tape paint brushes to my finger -- But such is life - just carry on
