April Sunrise by Fiona Phipps

Lovely and splodgy and great colours. Up at dawn?! I must have been still dozing….will set the alarm one of these days.

A beautiful sunrise Fiona, those colours are gorgeous and remind me of some of the 'big sky' sunrises I used to see in Lincolnshire sometimes.

Beautifully done love the colours.

Well done Fiona: it seems a little sunshine is sending us all reaching for the brushes! I’m liking your blue trees as well.

Splendid Fiona, I love the format - I'm suffering sketchbook envy - is that a thing?

Lovely work Fiona - love the blues!

A kaleidoscope of colour Fiona you have captured so well.

Oh just gorgeous Fiona- it’s almost alive-

These watercolours are fabulous- I love the freedom of expression Fiona.

Fab,fab,fab.

Just beautiful, love it.

Love that sky!!

Really like the way you've applied colour

Great expressive style Fiona, nice work!

A wonderful sky Fiona.

Love the merging of the colours and the wild, loose approach Fiona.

Beautiful colour and blending Fiona, love the little row of trees along the hill.

Very appealing watercolour Fiona. I like your technique very much.

Great use of bold colours and marks

😂 if you look closely Michael there is a very nice slice of Ayrshire bacon too! Thank you x I think I was still dozing as well Marjorie, hence the splodges…..thanks very much. I know what you mean about Lincolnshire skies Karen, I lived in the fens for a few years…stunning! Thank you very much for your comment. Thanks Paul, appreciate your comment. Many thanks Tessa. I think you are right, the sap is rising! It could be Andrew. I don’t really keep many sketchbooks and have always admired people that do and enjoy looking through their books. I love the paper in these latest ones and tend to reach for them before any other……Stillman & Birns.

Sarah, Chris, Rachel, Shaun, Sylvia, Valerie, David, Heather, Alan, Denise, Carole, Carole, George, Martin……my appreciation to you all for your lovely and encouraging words….thank you.

Very atmospheric, Fiona, well done!

I like both sketches, Fiona. The right hand one has a very Turneresque feel to it. Well done.

Love those sky colours, Fiona, and the semi abstract look.

Thank you Mia. Wib many thanks for you comment. It’s one painting across two pages in my sketchbook, sorry for the confusion. Jenny, thank you.

A lovely watercolour. I love the loose marks and contrast of colour.

That sky is full of life love it.. Nice Fiona lovely

Thank you very much Sarah and Alan, appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.

I get a sense of April showers in this Fiona, a stunning loose watercolour.

Hi Val, thanks very much for your lovely comment.

Great colours and blends throughout this landscape.

Spencer, thank you so much!

Looks like it was fun to do.

It was Manus, thank you.
