That's lovely Ian, and I know you have some of the loveliest countryside in N.Yorks, and this picture proves it.

Love the title Ian, and a lovely composition.....with or without Sheila taking a staring roll.........beautifully painted.

Good, but I'd like to discourage you from writing the title on the actual painting, if that's what you did rather than put it on electronically - it won't help in selling your work, if that's what you want to do. I like your undulating stone wall, and the foliage, particularly.

The title on the painting is a nod to one of my favourite artists, Peter Brook, and its a little focus using one of the colours not employed in the painting itself. I rather like it, and will probably be employing its use in the future.
