Lovely work Paul and quite uplifting as we're in the depths of January.

Well painted, Paul, lovely composition and spring colours.

A beauty Paul. All good, the trees in particular so well done.

I just love this tranquil sunny scene. I want to be transported there.

Makes you want spring to hurry up Paul. Lovely work.

Roll on Spring Paul, despite what you say were your issues it's a lovely painting

A beautiful clear painting, Paul!!

You’re producing some really good work Paul… this is a lovely landscape!

Thank you all for your very kind comments, they are appreciated. It’s the same old story if you just slightly off with a small part of a painting that’s what you notice when you look,still I’m more pleased with it than I am disappointed.

This is a beauty Paul. Well done.

Excellent painting Paul.

Another lovely painting, like it a lot !

Thank you Denise and Stephen I appreciate your comments.

We were typing at the same time Valerie,thank you for your much appreciated comment .

Great subject well painted 👏

Very well painted Paul.

Oh you have fiddled Paul but it works well as the fiddling looks balanced.👍

Lovely. Despite its imaginary origin it's reminiscent of Evenly Wood near Brackley.

Thank you Martin, Maureen, George, John and Andrew for the kind comments. That possibility is where I got the idea from John as my daughter had some photos they took on a walk a while back in the woods near Brackley but didn’t mention the name . I looked at the photo around September, it’s obviously stuck in my mind to some degree, proves that nothing is original.

A beautiful peaceful painting, Paul!

Beautifully painted. Lovely composition.

Beautiful fresh colours Paul, very springlike. I can't see you've done any damage on the left hand side.

It has that fresh, spring palette of new grass and unfurling leaves Paul. A little beauty.

Anne , Romila, Sandra, Fiona and Martin Thani you I appreciate your comments .

Great painting Paul and looks a delightful place to paint.👌👍

Lovely composition and painting Paul.

Bring on the spring Paul, lovely picture

A4 watercolour, and imaginary scene , wanted to capture early spring colours and sunshine. I’m pleased with most of it but fell into my own trap and startd to fiddle with the left hand side , terrible habit , just stopped before I did to much damage. Stage of painting this are on the forum , unfortunately it’s not letting me upload the finish painting on the WIP , will try it again later.

About the Artist

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…
