Winter Lane by Fiona Phipps

Hey, Fiona! This is getting seriously good. I love this painting. It is beautifully rendered. All the trees are just superb and each one is painted just right for it's place in the landscape. I hope you are justifiably proud of this one and are planning lots more.

I totally agree. You've nailed this one!

Well done Fiona .--- It looks Ted Wesson to me --- Brilliant effort

Really nice Fiona ,well done.

I think this is a step forward from your earlier work -well done. A couple of points that you could improve on (in my opinion of course).The hedgerow on the right has a very hard top edge, which brings it forward, you could soften that with a little water and tissue or a damp brush. Also, the path is very direct and from the dead centre, perhaps a slight curve, a little offset would be more subtle? I only add my opinion as you have often asked for comments.

Lovely watercolour Fiona, well done

Love the colours and the trees are perfect - a beautiful landscape I am envious!

I love the light and the drama of the hedges. Beautiful!

Thank you all very much, I couldn't have done it without you all!! Your support and encouragement makes a difference.

Definitely after Wesson and very nicely done as well. Super light and shadows. Simple but very effective.

Thanks for your comment on my artwork Fiona. You have some wonderful paintings on here,and such a varied choice. I have enjoyed looking through them

Excellent. I do admire this loose style where you draw with your paintbrush....well done.

Good Morning Fiona. As I have said above, I really love this painting so thought I might use it to contact you to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2012. Lionel.

Beautiful work Fiona.

Thank you very much Michael, you're very kind.

I've enjoyed looking at your work. This is one that stood out for me. A fitting tribute to the master. Full tonal range in few strokes, bold and skillfully swift execution. Very good watercolour.

Really? Thank you Jem.
