We All Need a Hug by Fiona Phipps

Definite4ly fits your description and a lovely sketch too Fiona

It’s a Beauty Fiona

Great sketch and colour.

Such good observation Fiona! Trees do seem to have a life and character of their own and we love being out there in nature. Great study.

That depends rather a lot on who's doing the hugging, I find - but I expect trees aren't particular... nice bit of ink and watercolour, I always like your tonal sense and restrained palette.

Like this very much and I like the title too !!

I love things like this! Its a lovely image and a beautiful painting Fiona.

That is superb, Fiona!!

Like the sketch and the idea behind it.

We do, we do! And trees like each other’s company…my little tree ( which I’ve not painted yet ) is all on its own but I think it knows it’s appreciated.

Lovely work Fiona as always

Great lively ink marks Fiona, a super watercolour.

Lovely work Fiona. Trees are an infinite source of inspiration aren’t they?

Beautiful and definitely us humans need to learn this from trees.

I was thinking after posting this, that maybe, the righthand tree could be a sapling of the left one? Perhaps a parental hug! Thank you all for looking at my messy scribble and more thanks for your lovely words.

Lovely sketch!

Thank you Anne.

Lovely sketch and love your idea of the tree hugging its neighbour, a very happy thought.

I’m very impressed with your technique and this is a fabulous piece.

Love this Fiona, especially those inmates trees. Very effective use of the mediums.

Thank you for your very kind comments, Sandra, Nick, Carole…..very much appreciated.

Full of energy - your use of textured paint is perfect Fiona.

Many thanks for your comment Shaun.

Love the looseness.

Thanks David!

Smashing loose sketch Fiona!

Trevor, thank you! Glad you like it.

Another wonderful sketch as you always manage to do something that stands out, so loose but wonderful to look at!👌🙏😁

You are very kind William, thank you very much x
