Tree Trunks on the Loddon by Martin Rolfe

It's very hard to keep Nature down, though tragically humanity keeps trying to destroy it. Did you use some ink with this one, or manage (somehow) to mix such a strong dark with watercolour alone?

A lovely watercolour Martin with excellent dark tones. I often drive past a huge tree near Oxford which blew down in a storm a few years ago, still lies there but grows a full show of leaves each year. Nature is indeed amazing thankfully.

This is very eye catching and those darks work SO well, very dramatic

A bit of simple charm that works nicely.

Love the striking contrasts in your painting Martin.

You’ve captured the scene so well. Great reflections.

Like this a lot.
