Beautiful painting of a lovely scene, Fran. I like the colours and the reflections.

Thank you Cesare - I love painting lakes & rivers - their quiet tranquillity is so appealing.

Thank you for your lovely comments - it is a rather beautiful spot Adele & Margaret. I am lucky to have it so close to home.

Beautiful colours Fran, very harmonious - it looks as though it might be just beyond Maureen's meadow ( see Tulips in Howick Garden )

Thanks Lynne and Marjorie - I took a look at Maureen's meadow Marjorie and I can see what you mean :)

Marjorie Firth pointed me in the direction of your site and I have to say I really love your work. I struggle painting outdoors but continue practicing. It's all grist to the mill!!! I so admire those who really manage to capture the moment as you do!

Hi Maureen, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I have looked at your work too - you are producing some fabulous pieces (I particularly loved the apples in the plastic bag on your website - terrific piece!).
