Early Evening Drinks by Lionel Simister

Love the blue hazing Lionel a great success

Mary knows best. I really like all of it, especially the contrast between the trees and the rest. It really appeals to me.

What do you mean it didn't work Lionel.....it's fabulous, you should listen to Mary! Great figures, love the buildings...an all round winner. Hope all went well in Spain.

I'm sure your wife does like it Lionel, I do too. Such freshness, the trees are fine.

I like it too, Lionel. The palette is beautiful, the figures really give life to the scene and there's nothing wrong with the trees that I can see. I think it's a wonderful piece, and your wife certainly knows good work when she sees it!

Looks pretty good to me Lionel - great feeling of space here.

Beautifully gentle palette and a lovely composition. The people add a great sense of life to the painting. Super work, Lionel.

I like it too Lionel - especially the way you have achieved recession.

Well, I never! So many lovely comments and all from the people who I like to think I know, and whose work I certainly admire. Thank you all so very much. Naturally, I have kept Mary up to date on these observations! <br />Sorry, Fiona, the Spanish sale fell through. My buyer has been diagnosed with a heart condition and cautioned against flying. She really wanted this apartment because of the wheelchair access which she needs. Not to be, I&#39;m afraid.<br />Once again, thanks to all for stopping by - sorry I have not lodged many comments lately but I have been extremely busy - all to no avail! Ah well, I&#39;ll start again. Love to all.
