I like your interpretation of this scene which has a feeling of space and autumnal colours - well done!

This is a really beautiful painting, Dave. I love the composition and especially your warm and glowing colours. Well done.

Your patience and attention to detail has paid off Dave, you have a beautiful watercolour.

Very nice watercolour Dave, frash and glowing with colour.

Anyone who could tackle that scene and come up with a painting like this one gets my vote!! I thought it looked really hard to do, but you have excelled at capturing it. Particularly love the water and reflections.

Inspiring comments folks thank you.

Dave Ettridge sent in his picture which measures 30 X 40 cm and is painted on Daler Rowney Aquafine 110 lbs not paper, saying: 'I started with a light sketch, using other pics from the internet as reference material, I then wet the paper and taped it to a board to stretch, once dry I dampened the sky area and started to add the clouds, the hill on the right side which is in shadow and the darkest was next to be painted, this set the tones for the rest of the picture I continued painting the distant hills then the mountain to the left, which I wanted to be more rocky. This completed, I returned to the central distant hill and readjusted the colour and tone, lastly the foreground this was completed in stages reviewing between each stage, because I was concerned that the balance should be right.'
