Birches, Swan Lochan by Fiona Phipps

This is really well painted Fiona , the colours are superb it’s one of your top draw ones . Definitely has the FP touch to it.

Thats such a lovely atmospheric, to me it communicates peace, tranquilly - even isolation.

Beautiful work Fiona - very evocative of the fading year.

A wonderful watercolour Fiona.

Love this one, Fiona, very atmospheric, lovely composition, and I like the limited palette.

Another beautiful painting, Fiona! Love the colours you have used!

Thanks very much Paul, I was tempted to add some pen work but slapped my hand as it reached for the ink! Judith, you’ve got it spot on with your description. It was still, calm and only myself and the swans for company. Thank you. Thanks Sarah. Yes, in Scotland we are about two to three weeks ahead of you, depending where you are. Only the Beech still have a good canopy of leaves and the birch are all but naked now apart from the most stubborn of leaves. Many thanks. Appreciate your kind comment Chris, thank you. Back to my limited and boring palette once again Jenny….lol. I do like it though and is perfect for this time of year really. Thanks very much for your comment.

Missed you David……thank you very much.

Another atmospheric beauty.

Really lovely Fiona. I love the colours!

This is great, Fiona. Love the colours!

A lovely watercolour.

Just beautiful Fiona!

I agree with Paul - one of your best. It’s a really beautifully painted watercolour Fiona.

Lewis, Spencer, Mia, Sarah, Karen, Shaun……thanks to you all for your kind and generous words of encouragement.

Super painting Fiona, and I agree it doesn't need any pen work as it is very atmospheric as it is.

Lovely painting Fiona,wish I could paint as loose as you do, I am glad you did not add the penwork.

Beautifully done Fiona.

Lovely watercolour Fiona, it looks mystical and expresses delight!

Beautifully painted - lovely trees!

This grabbed my attention. Love the palette and the white bits (unpainted paper?). You know what you're doing with watercolour and it shows here. Lovely Fiona.

Perfect colours, lovely shapes Fiona.

I’m very grateful for your continued support and kindness Andrew, Chris, Christine, Angela, Anne, Diane, Marjorie, Michael. Thank you very much.

Love the little bits of white peeping through and the various dabs of autumn colour. Definitely a peaceful scene and a very good composition. No pens required here!

Really lovely Fiona

Beautiful limited palette Fiona.

Excellent work Fiona, rather good trees!

I admire you for painting this outdoors on your walk, and it's worked very well, very atmospheric.

It works so well ! Lovely colours and atmosphere.

Thank you Avril, glad you like it.

Glad you resisted the ink - true artistic judgement there! It works very well.

It was touch and go Robert ……glad I restrained, it would have ruined the effect I think. Thank you for your input.

What a really beautiful painting.I love it Fiona
