Lovely scene Diane, the trees do look amazing and super palette looks so vibrant and fresh!

Good title and a lovely peaceful painting Diane. I agree with Russell, great distance here. Are your subject from imagination?

Really lovely Diane. It reminds me of a view over the Lake District.

Lovely mood and echoes of Paul Simon in the title…hope that’s not too obscure for you Diane.

A lovely tranquil scene.

Love the very tranquil scene and the far distance, which is very skilfully handled Diane.

Thank you all for your comments. Yes Tessa, it is from imagination. I have made a few changes since posting as I wasn't happy with the centre/left area in particular. Marjorie. not obscure at all. I had the line from El Condor Pasa in my head while painting this so decided to quote it. Not because it described the painting but because I identify with the sentiment. And, note to self, you should never start a sentence with Not or And but I'm too old to heed such things now!
