Watermelon Still Life by Fiona Phipps

Lovely loose sketch Fiona.

Thank you Brian, I think that's why I'm enjoying these sketches so much. Keeping them loose and not worrying too much about accuracy .

lovely colourful sketch Fiona. Good balanced composition too. well done.

Superb Fiona alive with enjoyment

Thank you very much Syd, appreciate your feedback. Thanks Dennis, does it show!

Does it not Fiona

Another beautiful Sketch Fiona. love the colours you are using and the ink makes a great addition

Great shapes and colours .

I love the effects of the scribbly inks and watercolour Fiona - it shows you are having fun, which is what it is all about I reckon!

You are certainly having fun making these sketches and I'm having fun looking at them Fiona. Such clean colours and really good handling of the mediums.

Love this one Fiona - the sketchiness and the colours.

Fantastic colours Fiona.lovely painting.

Wonderful sketch Fiona, I like your pen and wash.

Great colours Fiona, can tell you love this style.

You haven't suddenly been taken over by the spirit of a long past Impressionist have you Fiona ?, you are really turning these out as though you have been re-born, as much as I still really love your other work you can tell you are really having a new lease of life and as you say fun with these, well done.

love it Fiona you're painting now with so much freedom keep up the good work

Lovely

David, Helen, Adele, Ibolya.......many thanks for you encouraging comments.

Thank you Jennifer, Peter, Cesare, Carole for your lovely comments. Lol...Malcolm, I've been taken over by something, I think! It's more down to the fact that I don't like waste. I was given a set of W&N watercolours which as you can see are as far away from my usual palette, and of course they were not being used. So, what can I paint with these brighter paints? Flowers and fruit. I enjoyed doing the first couple so much......I haven't stopped! Thank you very much for your comment, always appreciated.

David thank you! If the rain stays off today it will be Nasturtiums, they've just started flowering. Many thanks Anne.

It shows that you are having fun Fiona and I love your choice of colours. Certainly brightens up a very wet miserable day :)

Thats lovely Fiona the colours are striking

This painting is as mouthwatering as the watermelon Fiona.

Val, Dermot, Sarah, thank you very much indeed. Yes, the colour choice is very uncharacteristic for me, but I'm educating myself!

Another lovely bold and colourful still life Fiona!

This is lovely - colours and ink

Thank you very much Jenny and Maureen for your kind words.

I can see that you are enjoying these sketches F, another vibrant offering.

And I for one am loving looking at them.

Many thanks Alan, Gudrun....Appreciated.
