This is so typically British, Fred, I love it. I am going to google it and see some more of those beautiful scenes. Well done, I love it!

A great little painting Fred, it looks a delightful place.

well done. The gate in the front especially distinguishes it from the postcard I bought when I was there last.

I love it, Fred. It may be one of the most photographed spots, but there's nothing corny about this painting. Your interpretation of the subject is what counts, and you've produced a really stellar piece. The composition, light and palette are superb!

A lovely composition, you have a lovely style too :)

I'm overwhelmed by all your comments, thank you so very much. I nearly threw it out at one point but decided to carry on. The I.O.W. really is a nice place to visit and to explore.

I know it's a bit corny , but couldn't resist having a go to get me back painting again. It is one of the most photographed spots on the Island I think. It was a very dull day when I took the picture so had to improvise. Acrylic on a box canvas.
