This is a lovely painting. The limited colour palette is beautiful, so simple but so effective.

I agree a beautiful painting and I think the subtle colours work very well

This is really lovely. I always work with a limited palette, although I've never been brave enough to attempt an oil painting. I love the atmosphere in this piece. Well done!

Painted in oil approx 300 x 400. I really enjoyed the limited palette. This was painted using a reference photograph taken by my sister-in-law when she was in Napal. I usually prefer to paint from my own reference photographs but couldnt resist this one!
