Old Bucks Farmhouse by Paul (Dixie) Dean

The blue in the foreground is suppose to be linseed but that’s the are I have had most problems with , they do grow lavender in some part of the county .

Worth battling on with this Paul. I particularly like how you have portrayed the hills behind the house and the rich purples and greens.

I really like this, the colours are lovely together !

Good colours, really well painted.

Good work Paul. Well done for keeping at it. Great result. I know what you mean about the heat, I find it easy to do nothing. I’ve been meaning to cut my grass, been putting it off for days…excuse…too hot! I finally cut it at 8am today, before it got too hot. Took 30 minutes. Just lazy really. Must do some drawing this afternoon.

Thank you for your lovely comments , they are really appreciated. I think we suffer more from the heat with age Lew , I also have to make myself do something as any excuse will do at the moment. Drawing is an excellent idea in the weather , I’m obstinate and will persevere with the watercolours .

I've always struggled with the heat as well, plus I agree I really can't do much in it as I've got older. I think I get tired and that doesn't help when im painting at all. However I do like your lovely farmhouse, so well done.

The struggle was worth it, a good one Paul

Lovely Paul.

Julie , Heather and Denise thank you for your kind and much appreciated comments.

A lovely picturesque farmhouse and sitting so well into the countryside - well done in this heat, Paul!

Thank you Anne , it did get a tad warm.

Delightful composition which the vibrant colours add to
