Abandoned steel 2

Such a fascinating painting. Who would have thought that such a bunch of objects could be so beautiful. Love the colours the pattern and you have executed such a skilful technique

Another fascinating Diana classic. Lovely work, quite amazing.

I wish I could do layers like this.

So glad the produce from my home town presents a real opportunity for good art. I'm really glad you took it on Diana you have captured it beautifully.

Amazing painting as ever, Diana. You made artistic all usual subjects, and that is great skill.

Another fabulous painting well done Diana

Well done Diana, a tricky subject for sure.

You've mastered those textures beautifully Diana.

Another winning painting Diana...

Superb

You have a wonderful way with finding and painting everyday objects Diana, that turns them into something special and fascinating to look at. Excellent!

Great depth and tones Diana.

an imaginative subject choice

Excellent Diana

Good morning Tessa and thank you. I look at,and admire beautiful landscapes but don’t get the urge to paint them as I do with other subjects. That said, I’m going to try a few Lake District ones and see how I get on. Thank you Carole. Using a backlit image really illustrates the variety of colours in the dark areas. Thank you Stephen. I think it’s those somber colours I love. I love music in the minor key too. I’m far from a miserable person though😁 Thank you Helen. Lovely to hear from you. Good morning Margaret and thank you for leaving me your kind comment.

Good morning Carole. Thank you and a big thank you to Ian the photographer for the opportunity Morning Jim. Thank you again. I remember as a beginner wondering how you could ever develop a style or ‘favourite palette’ I am able to recognise artists here from both and fascinated to see a recognisable style developing in my own work. Hello Karen. Thank you so much. I look at other artists work in wonder and take on ideas and techniques from them. Bit of a magpie in that respect😁 Hello Brian. Thank you. Are you a Sheffield man? I was there last week but at a crematorium so not the best reason for visiting. I lived in Dinnington tucked in between Rotherham and Worksop for a few happy years before the coal and steel disappeared. Good morning Cesare. I really enjoy hearing from you though feel rather guilty at not being so forthcoming with my comments on the beautiful work in the gallery. Hello Tao and thank you. I haven’t been interacting with the art sites lately as I took on a commission of twin babies😬. I. So relieved to have finished it. Hello Alan. I love hearing from you. I so admire your landscapes and would love to be able to produce some myself. I just get a feeling of excitement when I start some of my still life pieces. Morning Marjorie and thank you. I wanted a variety in the painting. Much as I admire photorealistic work and started out in that style , I love watercolour for its ability to create such variation in texture Hello Peter and thank you. I’m glad you thinkso. I think I get picked out because of the bizarre subjects I choose! Morning Dennis. Thank you very much. Good to see your wonderful work again too.

Wow Diana, this is so brilliant! How you tackle these tricky subjects is beyond me but you do them so well.

Just so gob smackingly good Diana :) I'm in awe of your work.

Super work.

Hello Margaret. It made me smile to read your comment. Thank you. You also made me laugh Val. Thank you too for your generous comments Thank you Maureen. I value every comment.
