So clever and so very good!

Thanks you Diane and Heather, looking like the back of a bus isn’t so bad after all 😉🤗

Definitely a Scottish palette John. Billy Connolly might agree - great street scene!

John, this is so evocative of soggy Scotland! Love the composition and how you have created the buildings with the minimum of fuss

Posted by Kate Nicol on Thu 04 May 20:39:29

Thanks you Kate! I love soggy Scotland, it’s so paintable 🙏🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🏼

Very good John. Very evocative colours of a Scottish scene

Interesting and beautifully painted John.

Posted by Carole Swingler on Fri 05 May 07:19:30

Carole, Christine and Coral, thank you, I’m very grateful for your generous and positive comments 😊🙏🏼😊

It’s been pretty much like this in the central belt as well John, in fact, the heavy grey sky has felt oppressive. I’m fed up with it now, I would love to see a chink of sunshine! 🌞 Your painting is spot on and it’s made me feel depressed ……🫣😂…..it’s very good though!

Great pallette because it could be a really dull painting using those colours but it’s not. It’s vibrant and full of life

Posted by Martin S Taylor on Sat 06 May 08:03:15

Oh no!!! Fiona!!! I don’t know what to say! I love the that grey rainy atmosphere 😳😳😳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Posted by John O’Neill on Sat 06 May 15:59:24

Aaaaaaw Martin! I’m So Glad you get that from it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Posted by John O’Neill on Sat 06 May 16:00:12

John I’m sorry……my comment wasn’t meant as a criticism. I just “got” what you are saying with paint…..I know soggy when I see it. 😂 Hope I’m forgiven 🙁

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Thu 11 May 16:01:53

Hey Fiona!!! No offence taken at all! I knew what you meant! Soggy Scotland is beautiful… but still soggy 😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
