Cecilia, Anne, Spencer, David…..thank you for your kindness, very much appreciated. The photo has posted quite dull, has anyone else found this?

Lovely perspective from the tracks, and a great sky. Very good.

Wonderful Winter painting Fiona -it looks bright to me, particularly the foreground light. Nicely done.

Beautifully painted Fiona , you are so good at these loose landscape paintings.

Beautiful! I really like the way you have suggested the lay of the land with your marks and washes Fiona. Super sky too!

A lovely loose composition, Fiona. You have used your earth colours to good effect.

I love your watercolours Fiona!

Looks fine to me Fiona, a lovely scene, but I know what you mean about posting ‘dull’. Maybe it’s just the light at this time of year. I try to photograph mine outdoors but some days just can’t wait that long!

Posted by Tessa Gwynne on Wed 25 Jan 18:26:48

Lovely. Great use of colour as ever.

Posted by Lewis Cooper on Wed 25 Jan 18:40:19

Confident and colourful, no matter what you say, Fiona.

Fabulous painting with so much energy Fiona. Very atmospheric!

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments and encouragement ….you are a terrific bunch! I’m told, it’s looking towards Barnstable…..behind those hills I expect.

Wonderful diagonals and a patchwork of snowy fields pull the viewer into this lovely painting Fi9na.

Posted by Carole Kelly on Wed 25 Jan 22:02:38

The radial composition draws the eye straight in. Like it

Carole, Martin, Ellen……many thanks for your smashing comments, glad you like it.

It’s splendid Fiona. The perspective and tones are done lovely.

Thanks very much Mick, wasn’t sure whether I had over done it a bit with the sky!

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Thu 26 Jan 17:07:41

I really like your colour combination and the way you have painted with those big loose blobs.

A lovely sense of depth in this Fiona. Super colours too.
