Foxgloves on Headley Heath

It's simply not bin-able Jenny. Beautiful greens and reds. I like that abstract like quality in the very foreground.

I agree with John, this is certainly NOT for the bin. Beautiful graphic and stylish, Jenny. I could see this as an illustration for a children's story (fairy tales?).

Thank you so much John and Mia for your kind comments - I think perhaps my problem with this is that I don't really like using green, especially with red. (I did also write a short poem to go with it, but on reflection it seemed a bit naff, and that did go in the bin!)

Would make a great book illustration

I like this, the colours add to the depth of the composition.

Thanks very much Peter and Jeff, comments really appreciated.

I'm so glad you didn't bin this Jenny, it's a great piece of work with beautiful colours.

Thanks Margaret, much appreciated.

Good grief don't bin it Jenny!! Like all your creations, it's stylish and modern....love your foxgloves.

No bins allowed Jenny - this is lovely.

Lovely piece Jenny.

Thanks very much Fiona, Adele and Henry, for your encouraging comments - I'd been so convinced that this one didn't really work that I'd already posted it once and taken it off again before anyone had a chance to see it!

Well, I'm certainly glad you didn't bin it, Jenny.. this is lovely and so inspirational!

Thanks, Heather!

Acrylic ink and watercolour. Wasn't sure whether to post this one or bin it! An impression of one of my favourite views on my daily dog walk in early summer when the bluebells have faded and the foxgloves add a real splash of colour amid a sea of green.
