You really have done it justice, well painted.

Hi Jenny, so kind of you to send a comment :) thanks so much

This is such a lovely subject, which you have handled so well. I love that splash of red/orange in the foreground.

Hi Kate! Thanks for your positive feedback- it’s lovely to have an excuse to use some bright vibrant colours 😊😊😊

Excellent painting, great title, and what a find! I love an old overgrown house with a bit of mystery to it. Well spotted and painted John. The beehives and old waterbutt are a delight.

Definitely done it justice. Great painting.

Aaaaaaw Fiona! Whaaaaat?? No need for an apology- I knew exactly what you meant 🤗🤗🤗

Great Painting and I love the subject John.

Thank you Anne and Shaun. If you’re lucky enough to stumble on a nice composition the painting paints itself 😊

Thank you Martin, I’m always grateful for your positivity 🙏🏼🙏🏼

You have certainly done this cottage justice, John - it's an excellent painting - sad about the bee- hives.

Thanks Anne, yes it is kinda sad the bee hives aren’t in use, especially when they’re so desperately needed

Hi Fiona! Delighted you like this one 🙏🏼😊

I think that's very well painted, and a fascinating subject to paint. Very well observed John.

Excellent, it beautifully portrays your emotions through to viewers!

Romila and Hilary! I’m delighted you write such kind and positive things and that you like the painting 🙏🏼😊😊😊

Thank you Janet, you’re very generous 😊

How to make something great out of an ordinary subject. Very atmospheric.

In some woodland where I walk my dog there’s a cottage, not sure if it’s occupied but it has a certain ‘patina’ and there’s lots of junk outside… a bit of a beautiful eyesore so I’ve tried to do it justice 😊
