Lovely work Dennis, a looser style but it works so well.

Love the cleanliness and simplicity of this Dennis Superb.

Your opinion is right Dennis. Good work.

Beautiful fresh watercolour, Denis.

It's very, very good...and a typical Lake District atmosphere, Denis.

Yes Dennis. Lovely in its simplicity and freshness, and the reddish yellow works with the blue recession. Good work.

It's a great painting - so free. And great that you painted it outdoors

Thanks everyone for your complimentary comments. I do a lot of my work outdoors. I much prefer to work from "life". For years now, I have met up with painter friends and had a week in some place with lots of subject matter - the Lakes, North Yorkshire, the East Coast. Until my age prevented it, I had some fantastic painting holidays in New England, Monhegan, Tuscany, Provence. Iv'e been extremely lucky. I'll dig out some other examples of my plain aire painting if you are interested.

Yes Denis I'm interested in your older work I like all your work

I was on my way to Esthwaite Waterwhen I stopped to paint this. I rarely try to incorporate animals in my work. - they don't keep still love no enough - but I felt that this scene needed them. It didn't work out too badly. Well, that's my opinion!
