I so like this for its simplicity.

Simple and very effective, Fiona!

Nice one, Fiona, I love Indigo as a monochrome painting.

Posted by Jenny Harris on Wed 01 Jul 13:09:32

Very powerful use of monotone and a free style. Simplicity is its excellence.

Posted by Graham Taylor on Wed 01 Jul 13:12:52

Definitely the colours from the Scottish flag Fiona, great colours for the July challenge and a well painted scene.

Simple, spontaneous and effective.Indigo is a great colour !

Posted by Richard Cooper on Wed 01 Jul 14:51:22

Like this Fiona, I see so many different things when I look at it. Also one of my favourite colours, I love how indigo can be so dark and then so light, love it mixed with reds and purples .

Thank you all very much. I enjoyed doing this one, I just wet the paper and added the paint in different strengths.

So much can be gleaned from this fresh, spontaneous, painting Fiona. The more you look the more you see.

Carole, appreciate your very generous comment, thank you. Michael you are very kind, thank you very much. I didn’t seem to do very much really, I had no idea how it was going to turn out. Perhaps the ‘no plan/idea’ approach works out sometimes.

There is real freedom of expression here Fiona. Its closeness is it's over riding attraction. Excellent.
