Love that, Paul - especially the detail of the tractor!

Really well painted Paul with great details. Reminds me of the old days of farming life.

Excellent painting Paul. Wonderful detail and love the cameo role of the OWL at the window.

Nice one Paul -convincing aging to those doors

This is super Paul. Nicely done and full of charm.

Thank you David, John, Chris, Willie and David for your kind comments they are really appreciated.

Love this ! Love the owl too

Many thanks Anne for you comment.

A lovely piece that captures all the charm of a rural lifestyle. Beautifully painted.

So much to look at in this painting Paul and beautifully painted.

Gorgeous, that rust colour on the tractor is just fantastic.

Great tractor and barn door and the Owl is super. Good one Paul !

Great details on that tractor Paul and a really good rendition of a farm with that cute owl.

I love the old tractor and the way the owl is sitting in the broken window -lovely, Paul!

Evocative of times gone by well done

Many thanks ,Seok, Denise, Carrie, Richard, Carole, Anne and Moira for your kind and encouraging comments. I love these scenes as it reminds me of my childhood, we used to go to some of the farms near the RAF camps my after was stationed at. Often helping with the harvest , my first love was a farmer’s daughter, thou a lot older than me , but I really think it was the tractor she drove and at ten years old we do dream of tractors etc, well I did.

Just sums you up Paul . Think you could have squeezed a distant view of a ship through that gap!

Fantastic. What detail you have put in. And of course the lovely owl at the window.

Lovely painting. Lots to look at. Owl is cute too

Thank you Marjorie, Candy and Faye for your kind comments. I did try a boat in the gap but it didn’t look right Marjorie.

Great painting ,nice to see where the owl lives.

That's brilliant Paul, I love the detail in the brickwork and the tractor.

This is so good Paul and I like all your favourite things too

Love this Paul. Great detail. The tractor in particular. And patience with the brickwork. 😀😀😀

Great painting Paul. So much detail to look at.

Super painting Paul

Thank you so much, Anne , Michael, Judith , Heather, Pauline , Christine and David for your kind comments.

Excellent Paul, lots of interesting things to look at.

Great detail Paul, rusty hinges, cracked windows and I’m sure I see an old boat lying up in the barn behind the owl 😊

Many thanks Katy. I was hoping no one would notice the boat Katy.

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…
