Love this one Jem

Your strong, clean washes always stand out in the small images on the gallery page Jem. When we see them enlarged we can appreciate them even more. I like the use of shadows here, especially on the house at the end off the pathway. The foreground light grasses / weeds work well too against the dark tree foliage, very attractive painting.

Pure watercolour at it's best

I do love these "educated" brush strokes - in other words, you draw shapes with your brush rather than just filling in: it makes all the difference; and then your palette is completely identifiable - your work can be recognized even in a fleeting glance, which I always think is a good sign: amongst watercolourists on POL, that's also true of Rupert Cordeux, Alan Owen, Thea Cable, and just a few more (Oskar Thorarensson, for example, plus a few others).

Brilliant Jem - like Michael Edwards earlier said - pure watercolour at it's best

Fabulous Jem, gorgeous light.

Just superb Jem (and thanks for your comment on my painting).I agree with all the above comments. Your work is very distinctive.

Thank you all for your generous comments. I do appreciate it a lot. With this one I wasn't happy with how I dealt with the barn roof. Didn't go quite to plan initially, where I had intended a more simple dry brush rendering, so then it got a bit too bitty and elaborate. Oh well!

Also agree with all the above comments. As an oil painter, I have such admiration for water colour done well!!

Lovely painting. I can feel the heat emanating from the picture!
