Lovely painting Malcolm birds well done too

Thanks a lot Dennis, much appreciated

Lovely sense of distance and depth Malcolm and I agree with Dennis, your birds are super.

Interesting walk I bet Malcolm, lovely to have these great memories, you are never short of subject matter. Great depth and love the addition of birds.

Thank you Fiona and Carole much appreciated, I try to include 3 birds on all my landscapes were possible no matter how small, they represent myself, my wife and daughter and also the 3 Peaks of Yorkshire the county I am proud to have been born in. Yes Carole, one of the bonuses of being on the hills and mountains for 50 years plus means I have lots of memories photos, sketches etc to draw upon when inspiration is needed. Also when I look at work such as yours and Fiona's and some of the other artists on the gallery that gives inspiration and jogs my memory.
