More Cow Parsley

Comments

Yes - the Cow Parsley is really abundant this year. I always like the way you achieve lots of movement, Fiona and the flowers here are being blown by the wind - lovely! Love the blue hills too.

Love your foreground of cow parsley Fiona and also like the suggestion of what lies beyond should you venture on.

Lovely scene Fiona, so much to see here. Your trees are great.

Love the painting - the contrast with the sky is superb!

So fresh Fiona.

It’s floating... perhaps a hint of trunk do you think? Otherwise a rather splendid pastoral scene.

Love the bold, confident strokes and colours

Nice work Fiona, full of energy.

I adore cow parsley it’s a complete joy all frothy and bridal. Fiona you have captured my joy beautifully .

This is a lovely composition Fiona with the cow parsley in the front and the telegraph poles and hills beyond. I really like the sky.

Love the cow parsley and fresh greens. (Thought the same as Alan about the tree - maybe a suggestion of a trunk?)

Love the composition in this Fiona, some great textures in the sky. Agree with the hint of trunk for the tree suggested although my first thought was that the tree was exposed to prevailing winds like many we have up in the Dales….

Like this a lot Fiona

I love Cow Parsley, they look like delicate lace and in abundance. Love this painting, Fiona.

Many thanks to you all for your appreciation of cow parsley, such a pity that it is a short season....however, in the autumn and winter it gives us more inspiration with its wonderful dried seed heads. Sylvia, you are right , it is bridal, what a lovely expression. I see what you mean about the tree looking as if it’s floating, there isn’t a trunk visible, it’s all foliage but perhaps if I darken it in a much stronger tone it will look seated? Michael, as I look at the hills from the house I’m looking from the west, small hill on the left is at the foot of Cairnsmore......which is out of sight ......it is called White Hill and the two high points of what looks like one long hill on the right of the tree is Curleywee and Bennanbrack....I think. This time of the year the sun comes up in the dip between White Hill and Curleywee which you can’t see from this angle because of the tree, and shines directly in to the sitting room window. Thanks again!

Such graceful, yet natural movement in this Fiona. It is irresistible to paint cow parsley and this foreground brings your painting alive. I also like the turbulent background which gives a feeling of being a blustery day. Lovely work Fiona.

Love the energetic marks of the cow parsley Fiona, and the suggestion of fence posts and paths taking my eye into the distance.

Nice one Fiona, great colours and I like how you lead the eye through the picture.

Thank you Carole, Katy and Stevan for you positive feedback.

Love this one Fiona, beautiful sky and distant hills,

Thank you David, you are very kind.

Our garden is overflowing with cow parsley. You have captured them. Lovely.

It’s a beauty Fiona. On Facebook Painters online too.

Gudrun, thank you very much. It’s beautiful this year.....mind you, I think everything is beautiful this year....especially! Lol Thanks Mick, and for letting me know about Facebook X

I think this is just perfect Fiona. Lovely use of pastel.

16” x 12” soft and oil pastel on black gessoed sugar paper. I’m finding the cow parsley irresistible to do something with, I haven’t seen it so abundant and lush as it is this year. I fail each time to do it justice, I may have one more go before it fades. There is something not quite right about the tree.....any suggestions?
