This is beautiful, Mike. Lovely early morning light suffusing everything, I recognise the feeling of this, I've seen and felt it myself. Technique great, too

Lovely result Mike we seem to be on parallel paths at the moment with our mixed media efforts.

Like the way you have caught the light and the atmosphere of a very peaceful place to be.

The light and mood convey a gentle hush on the land Mike, a super painting.

As always , thanks for the encouragement - it is appreciated, You are right in what you say Barry - I am enjoying the inclusion of ink in the paintings. I am tending to use more direct use of the ink but do still enjoy the negative technique with gouache/gum arabic as a masking agent - more contrived ? more precise ? but I enjoy the technique and more so when using dilutions for tonal inclusion.

This is just wonderful. I love the light, colours and the atmosphere.
