A lovely painting, Fiona!!

Wow Fiona you really have come up with a stunner, it’s brilliant and beautifully painted, so this is what you were doing when you were hiding from us .

Superb Painting Fiona. Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you David, very kind. Yes, I’ve been ‘trying’ to improve in oils in my absence, I wasn’t idle! Thank you very much for your lovely words.

Missed you there George……thank you very much!

It’s a beauty Fiona. You are becoming a fine painter with oils.

Great work mit oils, Fiona!

A truly evocative piece. The way the light dances across the water is magical—it’s like a peaceful dream of the Scottish landscape.

Wonderful painting Fiona. Great to be enjoying your lovely paintings again.

Full of movement, interest and atmosphere Fiona. Love it.

A smasher Fiona, so much to like about this

A very successful oil painting Fiona, that sky is a beauty!

This is a cracker - lovely balanced composition and colour.

Many thanks to you all for your encouraging and supportive comments. Forgot to mention, painted with a 3 primary palette + white.

What a superb painting Fiona, although it in oil you’ve still kept your wonderful free loose style which you know I’m a big fan off! Another beauty ❤️👌🙏

This has a lovely summery feel to it Fiona and that sky is amazing.

Well you kept this quiet Fiona - it’s beautiful!

Love the free use of paint, excellent work Fiona.

Super, Fiona. Dramatic.

The colours are very soothing.

William thank you, you are very generous. The sky is my favourite part Val, thank you. 😂 I nearly didn’t post this Marjorie, I thought it was a wee bit twee. Thank you for your encouraging words. Trevor, Shirley, Diane, thank you very much for your support.

This is a beauty Fiona -would love to be there. All your oil painting practice has certainly come off in this one.

Carol, thank you. You are always very kind with your comments.

Looks like I'm late to the party Fiona but what a lovely painting, you must be pleased with this.

It's definitely not twee Fiona. It's one of those that you get more from each time you look at it. I really like it.

Thank you Trevor. I’m sometimes a late comer myself, I’m grateful for your comment and pleased you like it. As I said above to Marjorie, I nearly didn’t put it on the gallery. From all the encouraging comments, I’m beginning to look at it through different eyes. Thanks again.

Diane, bless you and thank you for your reassuring words x

So beautiful Fiona!

Thank you Romila, I value your comment a great deal.
