Baston Fen Lincolnshire

Great colours and perspective Fiona.

Looks great Fiona , I don’t know what time of year but it has a cold weather look and the colours suggest autumn winter.

Really lovely, Fiona - great depth and good colours.

Looks an interesting place Fiona, and a super little pastel sketch.

Lovely sense of place.

I like this a lot - I love your use of colour to draw you out to the horizon.

Those warmer colours in the foreground really work well Fiona. I expect you're busy working on your Still Life as well😂

Love this, Fiona! Like me you seem to love our marshes and wetlands! Beautiful colours.

Really lovely colours Fiona. Pastel and charcoal..well done. A medium I could never get the hang of. Looks really good here especially the golden whispy grass against the bluey watery bits.

Nice work Fiona

Sandra, thank you very much. Definitely winter Paul, such lovely colours in the dried reeds and grasses. Many thanks Anne. Thanks Al, glad you like it x Thank you Jacqueline, very kind. Many thanks Sarah. Thanks Marjorie! I’ve got three projects on the go (oils) and I’m slipping the odd watercolour and pastel in between drying times....why does it take T. white sooooo long to dry?! THE still life is cracking along at a pace Marjorie, I’ve just about finished.....priming the surface! Lol 😂 I do Margaret, they are such diverse habitats. Thank you very much for your comment.

Hi Louise, thank you very much. It’s the lovely colours in the reeds and grasses that attracted me initially. The skeletons of the bare willows too. I do get mucky, that’s why I do several at a time because I need to dust and hoover my painting room afterwards. Thank you Russell, appreciate your comment.

Love the colour palette and the loose marks you made for the foliage really make the scene come alive. Seems a nice place 🙂

What a place, love the painting.

A beautiful scene Fiona.

Really nice Fiona,I;ve never tried pastel or charcoal, perhaps I should give it a try.

Very wintry and atmospheric Fiona.

Beautiful mix of the mediums fiona, and you have really captured the look of the fens!

Beautiful work Fiona

This is lovely Fiona, very near to me but I’ve never been, although I think it is near or on the sight of a trout fishery hubby used to fish long ago. Once lockdown is over I will go!

Nice one Fiona. Especially, I like the textures in the foreground reeds. The grain in the paper also looks like canvas! Which reminds me, I do want to try a canvas board for Pastels! Ambitious eh? Regards John

Leave the hoovering and dusting for another day Fiona and do another great painting like this one...

Thank you all so much for your kind and generous comments. Chris you should give it a try, it gets a bit dusty though. Katy I think it’s near the river Glen, which had probably flooded, not a large reserve between Bourne and Peterborough. John W good luck with your ambitious plan. Thanks again everyone.

Lovely - everyone else has said it all!

Nice one, Fiona, I especially like the foreground grasses and colours.

Goodness that looks cold! Fabulous.

Lovely painting

Heather, Jenny, Ellen and Glennis thank you very much ladies for your kind comments.

Lovely and natural and I am admiring how you have acheived the perspective.

Many thanks Diane.

Really good Fiona - great atmosphere.

Verry nice Fiona looks like a few places I have been recently.

Shaun B and Shaun M......thank you both very much for your lovely feedback.

Love this one Fiona. Absolutely stylish 👏🏻!!!

👍 cheers Tomasz!

Love this Fiona. The paper surface almost gives an oil painting effect.

Hi Carol, thank you for your generous words. I hadn’t really noticed the texture close up and you are right, it looks a bit like canvas.

This is beautiful Fiona - love the composition and colours

Thanks very much Rachel!

Lovely, like the colouring and composition works well Fiona.

Many thanks David.

A lovely feeling of distance Fiona. You have caught the feeling of the place so very well.

Thank you very much Sarah!
