Through the trees by Denise Butler

So beautiful!

I love this one Denise, nice choice of colours, beautifully painted as always

The way you have handled the background works beautifully, lovely colours and composition, so uniquely you :)

There is such a difference between what you call a "quickie" and mine : 10 minutes with coffee (drinking and painting LOL). This is so beautiful, Denise. I very much like your colour(s) and the way you executed the trees. This is so beautiful.

This is another great piece of art by you Denise, the composition and the tones are first class, I think of all your many tree studies I have viewed that this is one of my favourites and the touch of colour on the leaves of the two trees works so very well, another for your great collection of work in your portfolio/

I could never spend 14 hours but then I could never produce a painting such as this - well up to your highest standards Denise

Ouch, 14 hours! I can feel my eyes glazing over! Your paintings are a real testament to the fact that if you want to excel at anything, you need to expend the time and patience to accomplish perfection. This is an excellent work, like all your others!

Denise I do admire your commitment to your artwork, I could never spend that time on a picture but then I wouldn't have the same intimacy with the subject as you do, and that really comes through in your paintings.

Love this style Denise, with the splash of colour.

Thank you all for your lovely comments, its always so encouraging.

One you just dashed off, eh? It's brilliant - your hours of work have been well repaid.

Just had a wander around your amazing gallery, what a talent especially with your buildings. I can't manage a vertical line with out it teetering over to the left a bit. I chose this one to leave a comment on because I think your tree drawings are my favourite and I love the touch of colour in it. Thank you for kind comment on my beech hedge, very much appreciated.

I've just perused your portfolio. I like all your work despite being a painter of trees. This has to be my Fav. - I love all the textures.
