Love the rich colours and great use of mixed media Fiona . Very nice painti

Well, this new bold approach is very exciting, great to see you experimenting also Fiona, I like it... This looks an interesting castle, I may have a go at it for my new Scottish series that I am working on, if you have no objection of course...

Go for it Alan!!!

Wonderful display of pure talent Fiona great stuff

I like the strong colours here Fiona.

Good to try different techniques etc out occasionally and you certainly have here Fiona! I like the texture and the weathered effect you have achieved in the castle. The strong sky works too, a sense of drama to the scene.

Stephen assumed it up nicely for me! I particularly like your pen marks on the greeny yellowy bits.

Like the colours and textures Fiona.

Thank you very much everyone for your feedback on this one. I'm a bit out of my comfort zones with these bright colours but wanted to give it a try. I quite like the work of John Piper and was trying something out in that fashion, haven't come close of course!lol. Thanks again!

Wonderful strong colours and well defined shapes make this an exciting painting. Super work, Fiona!

It is a bit bright for me Thea, but I enjoyed the application. Thanks very much!

You really do like to experiment and I have to admit I admire you for that. As you say this is bright (!) but I still like it. The pen and ink work in all your work is always so impressive.

Lovely work Fiona, I do like the strong colours you have used but also pen marks which are superb.

Carol you are always so very kind to me and my postings. I think my fondness for using ink perhaps shows in my paintings. You should give it a try Carol. Thanks again, really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Many thanks Satu, very kind.

A real eye carcher - great intensity of colour - bet it looks/would look really striking framed.

Very vibrant and different for you Fiona, and different is good!

I can see a certain persons influence coming out in this piece Fiona. I love the strong colours, the indian ink and the touch of wax ( which I always manage to overdue when I've tried it).

Michael, Glennis and Val thank you very much for such lovely comments.

A bit of a mixed media one this one. Inks coloured and Indian, white gouache and a bit of wax candle for good measure. I've done Threave castle twice before, one in pen & wash and the other was done in inks, but a much paler version in comparison to this one.
