Cool Pool Anyone? by Fiona Phipps

Yes please Fiona! Looks good to me.

OOOH but it works for me, Fiona! That's really cool in very way! Has a Chinese feel to it. Lovely!

We certainly need something to cool things down Fiona. This is a great painting in your trademark watercolour style.

I needed one today Fiona.. lovely painting with great marks and colours.

Yes please from me too Fiona! Lovely and fresh

I agree with Thalia, there is a sort of similarity to chinese paintings. I think that it is the brushwork. Lovely painting!

A cool, cool pool, Fiona. A most enticing painting with a delightful palette. I really like this suggestive, expressionistic style of yours. The trees are verging on the abstract, but they're great. Brian

It’s still so warm, not use to these kind of temperatures in Scotland! I’ve just given the hens a chunk of watermelon, sure I heard them sigh! Lol Thank you Tessa, Thalia, Carol, Rachel, Karen, Alita, Brian for your cool feedback. Thalia, Alita....ref brush work, maybe because it’s kind of hit and miss across the paper, and I do like to do the odd flicky bit! Brian, so relieved you can tell they are trees.....it was a quick quickie! Lol

It does have a Chinese feel to it Fiona lovely translucent colours and a great feeling of gentleness to it 😀

Great colours, Fiona. Loose and lovely.

IT looks very cool and inviting to me Fiona. Lovely tones running through it too.

It's a ver attractive picture in its own right Fiona, regardless of the heat. I really like it.

Now here is a lively painting.... heaps of movement and what lovely paper Fiona!!!

Oh yes I'd love a dip in that Fiona! As a few have said it does have a Chinese look to it, smashing!

Lovely painting Fiona, very atmospheric. I could do with cooling off in a place like this right now!

Lots of lovely marks and use of colour here Fiona. Love the texture and life you have captured here

Love the dry brush strokes, Fiona.

Phew....another blistering day folks, hope you are all dealing with the heat! Thank you all for your generous comments, much appreciated.

I'm another one for a cool pool ! Like the colours and yes a bit Chinese.

Thanks very much Richard!

Beautiful brush strokes, Fiona.

FAB

Cesare, Gudrun......thank you both very much.

Just catching up on the lovely paintings you've done while I've been away. I've looked at them all but will just leave comment on this one, which I like very much. I did love the colours in the painting you did for Marjorie's challenge. I should have a look at the myself as it would lend itself to an abstract treatment.

Thank you very much Sandra! Hope you had a great holiday and have lots of ideas for paintings.

Missed this whilst on holiday - like it - very effective.

Thank you Maureen!
