Rockcliffe Beach by Fiona Phipps

Lovely brush marks Fiona. Anywhere is enhanced by the proximity of an ice cream van.

You've managed to capture a good serene atmosphere in this splendid seascape. Nicely worked Fiona, I like the horizon line - or lack of it!

Lovely light filled scene Fiona.

Love it Fiona. Less is more in the proving. Great work,

Another cracker Fiona

That's absolutely splendid, Fiona, You've caught Rockcliffe exactly right. Terrific painting too!

A lovely sketch Fiona - beautiful choice of colours. You clearly did a LOT of sketching in that area!

Liking the simplicity and boldness in this Fiona.

These are lovely marks and shapes Fiona. Your style is so recognisable.

Nice one Fiona, there is good depth and contrast in this picture. How's the etching / printing going? Steve

A most beautiful simple landscape Fiona. Earthy colours, good brushstrokes, confident hand. Super!

Lovely sketch, Fiona, in your distinctive style, with strong clean marks. Love the colours.

I love your clean, fresh way of working. The marks that you make are always so vibrant.

Lovely painting Fiona

Love the simplicity of it Fiona, it is a work that lets your mind see what it wants to see, great contrasts in tones, nice one.

You have used some lovely colours Fiona, is this from one of your previous sketches you have posted 😀

What a beauty this is Fiona! I really love it and so distinctly yours.

Love the calm feel of this scene Fiona, as well as your colours.

Super mark making. So direct and honest

I agree Brian, everywhere is a better place if you can tuck into a 99......thanks very much. Thanks Al, I think the scene would have interested you, you would have done something wonderful with it. Thank you Stephen! Very kind Jim, thank you.....there were quite a few people in the scene but I shy away from doing figures. Although I’ve added them in my sketch. Thanks Pete! Thanks very much Margaret, yes I made the most of being in the area....some of the sketches are only 3”x5” biro sketches. Thanks Willie, yes you know the area don’t you, I remember seeing your paintings and sketches. Thanks Tessa, that’s me....simple...lol! Many thanks Marjorie! Hi Stevan, I’ve put the etching/ printing away until after the summer, I don’t have the time to spend doing it at the moment......hence the quick and loose watercolours. Thank you.

Satu, thank you for your generous comment , much appreciated. Thank you Jenny, I think both our palettes give us away! Lol. Alita.....thank you, very kind. Thanks Dennis 👍 Malcolm, many thanks. Hi Linda, the colours are f. Ultra, ultra marine deep, r.sienna, r. umber, b. Umber and a thin wash here and there of Persian red....all old Holland. No I haven’t posted the sketch of this one, it was a quick messy biro one done from the car whilst scoffing a very nice 99er! Lol. Bless you Carol, you are kind to me.....thank you. Thank you very much Sandra for encouraging comment. Thank you Thalia for your constructive feedback....much appreciated.

Wonderful brush strokes, Fiona.

A true Fiona painting! Your unmistakable style looks great. I want an ice cream!

Thank you very much Cesare! Margaret thank you very much! It was delicious.....soft creamy, Mr. Whippy ice cream wiiiiittthhhh a flake!!! Lol

Lovely marks and contrasts Fiona, striking!

Top notch Fiona

A cracking painting as always Fiona.

Great colours and simplicity.

Lovely impressionistic painting in great colours, Fiona

Many thanks Carole, Michael, Val, Richard, Maureen for your very kind comments.

lovely , like the colours used

Thank you very much Anne!

Love it Fiona, your mark making is spot on.

This appeals to me just loose and nothing laboured, I take it this is a recent one and is this where you feel you are finding your own style? Whatever it is a super watercolour, top marks Fiona, William.

Thank you William. Yes, I enjoyed doing this one which I did two years ago, I think my painting has changed even in that time. Thank you very much for your continued support.
