'A Country Life' by Fiona Phipps

Lovely use of sepia wash and line.Very exciting range of marks and shapes.

Delightful and evocative.

I like the sepia and pen wash Fiona - lovely painting

Great quote to accompany a well observed and interpreted scene - nice one Fiona

Beautifully done, Fiona, and yet another facet of your chameleonic talent! You never fail to surprise!

This works well Fiona, very good figures.

Lovely monochromatic painting Fiona

Many thanks everyone for your kind and encouraging comments.......they are greatly appreciated. I would love to know what they are looking at, and what the topic of conversation is?

Great use of the line and wash Fiona, like the composition and sepia tones used, this is a really nice painting for your portfolio.

Thank you Graham, it's much harder to do a painting in monochrome, it really makes you think about the tones before you apply the paint to get the contrasts right. I enjoyed it though.

A very striking addition to your gallery, Fiona, and it's so interesting seeing how you're experimenting with colour and style.

This is lovely Fiona.

Thank you Jane, thank you Denise I appreciate you looking.

Very atmospheric, a beautiful pen & wash.

Thanks very much Carole.
