Day on the Farm by Paul (Dixie) Dean

This is superb Paul.

Very well structured Paul. Love that dog and it a great lead in to the painting.

Looking good Paul. A great ‘save’ with the dog over your smudge…you’ve done the dog really well too.

Lovely rural view, and the dog is a nice addition.

A charming, busy country scene with the hills in the background- lovely place to live!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

Lovely recession in the hills Paul and I like the whole ‘working farm’ look.

Great result Paul in spite of your little accident. This has a charming, rustic feel to it.

I really like it especially the dog, great work !!

Fiona, Carole and Valerie thank you , I appreciate your comments .

Love your farm buildings Pauland your unintentional collie. Well saved.

Beautiful calm scene Paul, and good thinking to turn the smudge into a collie.

Val and Sandra thank you for your comments , desperation gets you thinking quickly, dark black how can I use that suddenly ah Collie will do the job. Wonder if it would have been a cauliflower if it was white, hhhhmmm , no .

Well saved Paul, the dog makes it!

Well done Paul!

The smudges worked a treat Paul, a lovely rural scene

Super little painting Paul and great narrative. I can really relate to this, having a farming background.

Lynda, Keith , Heather and Frank thank you for your very kind comments. I recall yiu saying that your from a farming background Frank , nice to hear that you can relate to this one, has a nice feel when someone say something like it invokes memories etc

Well painted Paul. You have handled a quite complicated composition very well indeed. I like the stone work.

Excellent scene Paul.

Lovely scene, very well achieved.

Thank you George , Denise and Carole for the kind comments.

Great farming scene and well done for rescuing your smudges- so easily done- the dog and shepherd have saved the day!

Like it, Paul

Thank you Christine and Maureen I appreciate your kind comments.

I wonder if the dog's name was 'Smudge'?! Nicely done Paul.

Thanks Trevor , the dog will forever be know as bloody thing , in polite company it will be Smudge .

Very neat and clean work. Realistic.

Thank you for your kind comment Sunil .
