Cool Falls by Fiona Phipps

Comments

The image doesn’t seem to have transferred very well, it looks peelie -wallie .

It’s a lovely scene Fiona , painted in your loose style that I admire , you have captured the movement of the tumbling water beautifully. Not sure what peelie- wallie translates as hope it’s not derogatory as this is superb, it is frustrating when a photo doesn’t capture the image well.

Hmm… I like this! There’s some lovely positive brush work here, and the overall look of it is excellent… as are the colours used…

Looks very cooling and a lovely painting too

I like your depiction of the flowing water

Very appealing in this heat. Lovely work.

Gorgeous painting, you just get better, love it !!

Sums up tumbling water perfectly Fiona.

Excellent work Fiona.

Oh! I think that your waterfall would be bliss to paddle in Fiona. I love your cool palette also. It gives it a very Scottish feel.

Well, peelie wallie or not, it does look enticing, cooling and very believable!

Thank you so much everyone for your lovely comments…..Paul, Alan, Heather, Graham, Lewis, Valerie, Marjorie, Stephen, Sarah, Tessa.

Lovely tumbling water in your painting. Peelie -wallie- that’s a phrase I haven’t heard in a long time!

Not just cooling and visually impressive, I can hear the water splashing !.

Beautiful painting, Fiona, and great movement of water.

So full of movement and energy. Your bold strokes do the job perfectly

A lovely painting Fiona.

Beautifully painted Fiona - full of movement.

11”x9”” oil on MDF gessoed board, still sticking with the 3 primaries + white. I can’t remember exactly where this waterfall is, I think it’s the Fall’s of Kirkaig, or a part of the falls anyway, as it has a long drop. I remember eating eggy sarnies on a rock shelve half way down! Hope it cools you off if you are still suffering with the heat. 😎
