On Fire by Fiona Phipps

I love this interpretation! You’ve not scattered a ton of detail everywhere, (as I probably would have done), but kept it to a minimum and just to the foreground - great job Fiona!

Thanks very much Alan, I’m glad you like it. I thought it was my usual messy application, but to be honest, I found using the inks with speed and abandonment produced the best results….for me, that is. That way, I wasn’t in total control of how a wash would eventually turn out. Forgot to add, there’s a touch of oil pastel in places.

Love your total freedom of expression resulting in a very arresting landscape Fiona. Love that orangey colour.

Beautiful!

Lovely, Fiona! Joyful colour, love the mauve / purple, they make it sing.

Beautiful Fiona, super mark-making and use of colour; a real stand-out painting!

I love the simplicity of this Fiona, you are very disciplined not to overdo the mark making x

Superb Fiona! It’s a great interpretation! And there’s still plenty of vibrancy.

Smashing painting F, love those colours and marks.

Different colours for you Fiona...a beauty

You are so good at these quick sketches Fiona, and you know what you are doing. Super foreground holding it all together.

Love it Fiona.

Love how you’ve done this Fiona, some great colours and textures.

This is a beauty Fiona, gorgeous colours and good composition - very eye catching.

Brilliant.I love the colours and composition

Beautiful twists and turns that lead the eyes every which way Fiona.

Love the colours and marks. This reminds of controlled burning on North York Moors that I saw earlier this year which produced smoke trails that drifted for miles

Love this Fiona 😀 beautiful 😍

Excellent! I also love Liquitex acrylic inks.

Lovely result Fiona, especially like the purple touches.

Nicely done Fiona.

Lovely result Fiona - love the touch of oil pastel!

I think you're 'on fire' Fiona, this is terrific!

Beautiful painting again Fiona. The pale purple/ Lavender colour in the foreground is an inspired addition to the painting. Great work.

Love it, Fiona! Yes I can see the appeal and the freshness...and wondered if there was oil pastel there too!

A great result Fiona and vibrant too, the radiant sun resonates with the blue outlines and golden cornfields! Well done!

The experiment is wonderful Fiona - Alan has hit the nail on the head!

My goodness, I’m blown away by your very generous and kind words and comments. Thank you, I’m really grateful that you take the time to look and comment on my efforts.

Such a beautiful blue/orange colour combination in this Fiona - and love the foreground marks with that touch of lilac.

Thanks very much Jenny, one of my favourite combinations.

You're on fire Fiona with these acrylic ink paintings, this is another cracker.

Thanks Val! I was dreading trying them to be honest, not only because I’ve never used anything like it before but also, the colours are so vivid. I quite like using them now, subdued a wee bit though. 😂

Great vibrancy and movement. Love the colours.

Cheryl, Spencer…..thank you both so much for your lovely comments.

Love the colours and marks in this one .

Many thanks Elaine!
