Remembering Summer! by Fiona Phipps

Love this Fiona! Especially as the snow warning is out!

This is excellent Fiona and beautifully painted.

Such a lovely memory Fiona. Love the landscape in its simple beauty. Is that a little holly in the foreground Diona?🌞🌞

Sorry should be Fiona.

Yes, I can spot those red berries Fiona. I like your series of oils like this one, like the colours and the brushstrokes.

Thank you Carole, Paul, Michael and Carole glad you like the reminder of warmer times, appreciate your comments very much. The festive bit which wasn’t intentional and I didn’t notice until I posted it is, the righthand tree, mid distance looks like the ghost of Christmas present from Scrooge! With his bushy beard and elaborate head wreath of festive foliage.

Sorry Marjorie missed you, we must have crossed commented. Thank you. I think I am settling in to a way of painting with oils….at last….it’s taken a long time, still not as loose as I would like but getting there.

Nice one Fiona -wonderful variety in the herbage.

Superb - great palette and atmosphere

A beautiful painting Fiona; I've been looking closely and was intrigued by your teaser! I see what you mean now; very good indeed!

Wonderful composition and brushwork

Love the painting. Got to own up, I didn't spot the teaser until I scrolled down and read your comment.

What a lovely feeling about this painting, I remember it well! Oh well we still have the snow to look forward to🤬 Great painting Fiona.

What a beautiful painting, and reminder. I can see the festive touch in that lovely tree, well done Fiona, love it.

Certainly a lovely painting Fiona, love the foreground with the various grasses. unfortunately did not spot your festive touch, LOL, thought it might be the red/orange spot bottom left, thought it might be a Robin. LOL.

Roll on snow,,, nothing more inspiring for me, but this is rather splendid Fiona! A very simple yet appealing painting executed with confidence!

This is gorgeous Fiona! Beautifully painted and a lovely palette.

Oh yes, little red berries, bring back the summer, my bones are aching, I'll just look at this to warm them through. Lovely Fiona.

Many thanks for your generous comments, I’m very grateful….Willie, Richard, karen, Heather, Lewis, William, Lesley, David, Alan, Rachel and Denise! I agree Alan…..bring on the snow!! I’ll be out there, will you?

Amazing painting, Fiona.

Lovely summer landscape Fiona, and I noticed the tiny hint of red which gives lustre for Christmas berries!

I missed this one. Excellent painting Fiona - especially like the brush strokes, the variations of greens and the receding background.

Lovely work Fiona.

Beautifully painted with great use of colour and textured brushwork- excellent Fiona.

Great composition, the recession is perfect and good use of colour. What more could you ask for.

Great "sense" of distance, and that touch of yellow in the mid-distance stands out.

Cesare, Angela, Dympna, stephen, Shaun, Stevan, and Richard….thank you all very much for your support and kind comments.

Just saw this one Fiona and really like the impressionistic feel.

Thank you very much Sarah, really appreciate your comment.

This is a beauty Fiona. It's lovely for me to look and see how you have layered your marks and colours. It's really, really glorious!

Beautiful, I love all the paint strokes and texture.

Diane and Carrie, thank you ladies, your kind comments are much appreciated…..thank you.
