Great style, beautiful colours.

I keep looking at it. Interesting as a composition, very neat in execution but mostly I like the subtle changes in colour from "near to distant". Beautiful... my compliments

Very good indeed. Foreshortening, as obtained from a camera's zoom, is often a recipe for confusion when transferred to paper, but this is strangely seductive: lying in the autumn grass, swallows heading south overhead, sharing bugs' privileged perspective on existence.

A sensational piece. Wonderful composition and colours, and very well done...

How very special. I agree with the above comments: this is so fascinating. I can't take my eyes of it!

Agree with all the above. Superb blend of colours.

Love your smooth and velvety style. Super choice of different greens as well - not an easy colour to work with.

I think your buyer got a very special painting here - fresh from your imagination and inspiration, and informed by your expertise and experience. Not often they work like this, is it? But magical when they do. Many congratulations.

It all works wonderfully. Very good.

A very interesting painting with a slight touch of abstract about it. I love the colours of the trees and the clever recession.

Oh I love this, the colours you have chosen melt together beautifully, lovely composition and a great style.

Sold. Gosh, thankyou for all your super comments. The above watercolour is now owned by a super lady from Kew, so it is in safe hands. It is also large, about 45 by 70cm. I particularly looked to divide the composition into three to get the desired effects. This is what I call a 'Sunday Morning' painting. I had painted one on site, but was not overly happy with it, The following Sunday, I turned the Archers on, everyone was out, kitchen table free and spread my paints, water and brushes out and off to work I went, flooding the whole page with water and colour in the first instance. I then gradually worked areas and think I only did a little touching up the next day. If only all paintings 'happened' like that.
