This is very good Michael,I love the colours, the warm pinks against the greens. The near hillside ( or fell ) particularly draws the eye because of its strength. It doesn't remind me of Joe Hush so I think you've made it your own.

Beautiful painting, Michael, lovely colours and beautiful scene.

Thanks for kind encouragement Marjorie and Cesare. Nice to think I've made it my own Marjorie. It would be rougher than Joe's style, which it is, and which exemplifies my rough and ready personality rather than being careful and detailed souls like you and Joe. I'm quick but I'm rough!

Excellent work Michael. Good enough to hang.

Lovely painting Michael, the addition of the sheep sets it off.

Thanks for your kind encouragement Fiona.

Lovely painting Michael love it
