New Year’s Day Sunrise.....(11) by Fiona Phipps

Aww love this, we have had some gorgeous sunrises and sunsets lately, well captured Fiona.

Lovely Fiona

Beautiful Fiona, love the horizon and the colours echoed in the foreground

This is lovely, Fiona....very atmospheric!

You've really mastered winter trees Fiona. Lovely work.

This is a beautiful painting Fiona, the colours of the trees and winter ground cover is excellent. The sky is a painting in its self., superb colours and cloud shapes. Mmm 😋 I think I might like this.

This is a cracking painting Fiona, glorious sky.

Beautiful painting Fiona.

This is a fantastic painting, Fiona. Beautiful colours and I love the tree!

Many thanks to you all, your comments are so encouraging and supportive.....thanks again.

Great sky Fiona.

Lovely sky, Fiona - and winter trees.

Beautiful, a difficult sky painted so well!

Beautiful skyline. Very difficult to do.

A super job Fiona, great combination of colours and a stunning sunset that’s not overdone!

A really good painting Fiona. The winter sky and trees are outstanding and so natural looking...

Beautiful, Fiona.

This is so gorgeous, Fiona. The palette really makes it. Rich colours, yet still maintains a purity. The foreground tree and shadows is a gem!

A real breath of fresh air Fiona. Painted with such in such a natural, appealing manner. Love it - feel as if I’m there.

Your work comes on leaps and bounds now Fiona. Just to think at one time you largely avoided colour.

Thank you ever so much for your generous comments everyone, they are all greatly appreciated. Michael, I’m posting so many at the moment because I have a target to post a thousand postings on the gallery, in the ten years I’ve been a member. I’ve got until the third of February. I will go very quiet after I make it....promise! Thank you John, who would have thought it! I get braver every day, not that it works out every day mind. I remember, and still appreciate your encouragement and good advice.

The faint red, pink and purple lustre looks amazing in this early morning sunrise. The tree with bare branches and bracken spread in the foreground sheds premise for this scene,a lovely watercolour painting Fiona.

Wild and beautifully atmospheric, Fiona.

Stunning work 👏

Beautiful painting, love the colours.

Thank you very much ladies for your super comments, glad you like it.

This is gorgeous Fiona. That tree is stunning!

Thank you Diane.

A very attractive painting, Fiona, love your sunset and the tree in particular.

lovely colours and what a sky

Maureen, Ann.....thank you both very much.

Nice work.

Thanks very much Jacqueline!

I missed this one Fiona -just can't keep up with you. The colours in the sky are fantastic and your winter trees get better and better in every painting.

Lol....Carol, I don’t know if I will make it, I’m running out of steam! Just getting a bit fed up of posting one either every day or every other day at the moment....folk must be getting sick of seeing my name! Only nine to go, as I’ve posted another quick sketch. Thanks Carol. X

I missed this one at the time too, saw it on the top line - beautiful, Fiona. You live in a beautiful part of D&G.

Thank you Margaret. Yes it’s beautiful here, and I thank my lucky stars that I have such wonderful surroundings.

Those washes are glorious. No other medium does a sky like this. Love the stark, crisp tree

You can’t beat watercolour for a atmospheric sky, many thanks Diana.
