This really is an eye-catcher, Fiona. Love the bold shapes and strong colours.

I do like this version Fiona, lovely light on top of the stone wall,

How are you finding the oils Fiona? I like the colours and grey sky and although I'm undecided about the blue outline it does add that certain something. Bold and different so well done. Painting is all about trying different things for me so admire you for doing so. I'm interested as well to see where you go with this one! Actually, you could have continued the blue outline along the top of the wall..maybe? So many decisions!

Well done in oils Fiona, I like this version too.

Really like this version, Fiona, lovely textures and colours - and I especially like the blue outline which gives a nice bold effect. (Like Louise, I wondered if this could perhaps have been introduced in a few places along the top of the wall as well?)

Nice one, Fiona

Love the colours Fiona. Nice strong lines.

I really like this oil version, love the grass, the wall, everything, well done Fiona.

Thank you Mia! Thanks Linda, I have nothing to base it on colour and tone wise, other than the pencil sketch I did. Haven’t got much of an imagination to make anything of it. Thanks Margaret! I quite like using oils Louise but I only really have time to spend on them in the winter. I didn’t want to make too much of the wall in case it split the painting in half, that’s why I’ve kept it neutral in colour. I’m working on take two! It’s different again! Many thanks Carole, Jenny, Pete, Dennis, Margaret and Annick for your lovely comments.

Can't decide which version I prefer Fiona they are all so good.

Thanks very much Val! I’m on the next version......lol

16”x12” oil sketch on Arches oil paper. Continuing with the nooks and crannies project I’ve done this oil sketch to try and establish the palette. It was a very flat grey day when I did the original drawing and I did take a couple of photos but it was so dark they didn’t turn out, so,scrapped them. I’ve had to wing it really but thought I would just do mainly neutrals with the strength of colour in the gravestones. First oil I’ve attempted since earlier this year.......enjoyed it and can’t wait to start the proper job! It will probably turn out completely different.
