Rooks on the Back Field. Van Gogh comp entry No. 2 by Fiona Phipps

Some good van Gogh brush strokes in this piece Fiona, good luck 🍀.

Gosh that was quick Alan! Thank you very much,don’t think I could make a habit of painting in this style....it takes ages! Lol X

I like the composition, Fiona. It's also a great example of how adjacent colours from individual brush strokes are optically mixed to create a pleasing harmony. Cezanne was also a master at this technique. I admire your patience in making this, Fiona - well done.

Yes it does, I've done 3 larger ones and it does involve a fair few brush strokes, enjoyable though.

It's a large "yes" from me Fiona. Good work.

This immediately put me in mind of Van Gogh Fiona I didn't know about the challenge I just saw it and thought Van Gogh. Beautiful

This is a good'un Fiona. Yes, talk about how long it takes - I've done one so far, took ages but enjoyable.

Certainly works, style and skill wise

This is fantastic, Fiona. I admire your patience about the brush strokes

It's a yes from me too:) this couldn't be anything else but a take on Van Gogh, I love it.

This is great, Fiona. I love the vibrant colours.

Like the style Fiona

Very good Fiona!

Definitely got the Van Gogh style down to pat. Brush strokes are lovely. A great effort.

That's definitely a success Fiona. Style and colours are right.

Oh yes Fiona, this looks good!

Very good Fiona, as said already great brushstrokes and colours

Wonderful colours and so dynamic.

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words, always appreciated. I’ve just been to see the film Loving Vincent.........beautiful! Now, I’m not an emotional type of lady at all, but I’m glad they didn’t bring the lights up too soon. Based on that, I’m all fired up to produce a third and last entry for the competition, what better inspiration could you have. Congratulations to all that worked so hard to produce the film.....I don’t like this phrase.....but it is, amazing! Thanks again.

Far better than Van Gogh Fiona. Love the sky.

Great Fiona.

Forget van Gogh Fiona, this is a beauty in its own right. So expressive.

Hey this is very Van G Fiona! Brill.

Hi Fiona....I just found your oils gallery...don't know how I've missed most of these....The artworks come in at such a pace on POL it's hard to keep up! This Van Gogh one for your Van Gogh challenge is superb! It is always a pleasure to look through your work, and I love your sense of fun, and willingness to try new things, and experiment. I think you will have inspired many artists to try new techniques. Yes, working on another winter garden one! Should finish it in a couple of days....Thank you so much for your generous comments on my garden series....one never loses that wonderful feeling you get when someone likes what you've created!

Chandra you are too generous but thank you for your kind words. I look forward to seeing the next in the series of garden paintings.
