I think it is very good. Paul, and you are being rather hard on yourself with your comments!!

Nice result Paul.

I like it, especially the warm colour in the sky

Your trees are always superb Paul. It’s much better than you think.

Know how you feel Paul nicely done indeed.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I’m pleased with how the colours look subdued, I was hopeful of catching that time of day when the colours are starting to loose the brightness from the sunlight, sometimes it can look like false colour .

Excellent, Paul -you have definitely caught the atmosphere!

Love the feeling of travelling home. And the bright sky is anything other than dull.

It's a good one Paul, triumph over adversity!

Definitely not for the bin Dixie! As has been said you’ve captured the feel of a damp dull day, weather at this time of year is often dull and dreary but can still make a decent painting, as here.

So very effective, Paul

Much better than what you think Paul. Nicely done.

Many thanks for all the kind comments, I painted this whist feeling quite unwell , think that is what led to my opinion of it . It does look brighter when looking a few day later, and I’m pleased with the results particularly the damp dull atmosphere.

i loove your Trees! 🌳🌲🎄

Don’t put yourself down Paul we all have those days even the best artists question what they do and you must do that to push yourself along, if we think we have arrived then we are wrong as it takes time and persistence it’s all part of learning! The amount I have chucked in the bin out of frustration is one hell of a lot of paintings, look at where you think you’ve gone wrong but take a break and have another go if it takes several attempts then so be it but we never stop learning and anyone who makes out they have made it is a liar! We are ALL still learning so when you feel better pick yourself up and go again, your a very good artist but we all make mistakes and this is not a bad painting so don’t give up.👍🙏👌😉

Its quite effective. Nice work Paul 🥰

Thanks Williams and Faye I appreciate your kind comments.

Watercolour , A4 in A3 mount using up the paint in the pallet, nit had chance to do much this week and in desperation I threw this together using up the paint. Think it reflects my mood this week, dull and can’t be fussed , as always I had pleasure painting it , probably because I wasn’t really trying to do anything really complex or detailed. It is what it is , good enough not to be binned but only just.

About the Artist
Paul (Dixie) Dean

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
