Rigg Bay….Galloway

Comments

A lovely loose painting Fiona , love the colours. It’s awful when we move and miss where we lived , but new scenes and places will soon fill your days and you will find plenty to paint.

You have done a lovely job, Fiona! I miss places I've lived in too but as Paul says you will find lovely places where you are now and bring them to life for us!

This is bold, dramatic and superbly painted Fiona, a definite success!

You did a great job of capturing a beautiful place.

Lovely and loose, Fiona! Love the colours!!

Some very satisfying colour mixes in this Fiona.

One of those days……looking through photos missing the beauty of the place, and being so close to it all. You’re right, I have found a few beautiful spots already and all walking distance away. Who knows what I will stumble upon to tempt me…… Thank you Paul, Anne, Alan, Bryan, and David for your kind words.

Funny, I’ve been looking through photos for an image to paint at the club on Monday( workshop/demo). I came across pets….I do like this though, lovely bold putting on of colour.

Your stern talking to has worked wonderfully Fiona.

Has almost an abstract pattern.

Lovely colours/shades in this fab looking place Fiona

A lovely fluidity to this wild seascape Fiona.

I guess I have similar trouble when painting from photos, I'm always digging in smallest detail too much, where I should focus on a broader areas instead ;) Very nice picture Fiona. These blended shapes nicely making the story up for a viewer.

Great work Fiona. A super loose style that is very effective!

Love the composition and colours, Fiona.

I love this Fiona because you tease the eye and then leave it to our imagination.

Thank you Marjorie, hope the demo goes to plan. Yes still missing being near the coast and the hills Michael, many thanks. Sylvia, Stephen, Lesley, Carole, PogArt, Spencer, Jenny, Chris……thank you all for your super feedback!

Nicely simplified, limited detail, limited palette, but you’ve captured the scene. Never been there but I do love being on the coast. Maybe one day.

Andrew, Valerie…..thank you for your lovely comments, they are always appreciated.

IT's a treat to look at this, too, Fiona

Thanks Thalia, that’s a lovely comment to make.

Beautiful in it's simplicity.

Thanks Diane x

Think this is great Fiona, the simplifying and loose style work so well.

This is excellent Fiona, you have really used loose painting to great effect- outstanding!

Many thanks Hilary and Shaun for your very kind comments.

I am a fan.

😂 thank you Mike!

A wet and windy day today, so I’ve had a practice day of sketching from photos. I find it difficult to paint from photos, always want to put too much in, then ruin it. So, I gave myself a stern talking to and simplified as much as I dared. I’m missing Galloway, treated myself doing Rigg Bay.
