Wonderful layering of paint and colour

I love the textures, so beautifully done.

Fabulous Martina!

In the words of a well known dancing judge, FAB-U-LOUS!

Stunning painting, Martina, lovely colours and great use of pallet knife.

Love the colours and textures in this, Martina, especially the foreground.

Love the techniques used in this, thick lumps of paint, scratchings, layerings an absolute gem.

Beautiful work. Love it. <br />

A brilliant piece of work Martina - I love the textural quality, and the colours are so well handled. Lovely!

Thanks so much everyone for your comments. It&#39;s wonderful to get such positive feedback on a painting that I had to leave and go back to several times before I could see a finished work that I was happy with.

The inspiration for this painting was a combination of photos and sketches from Connemara in the west of Ireland. I started it quite a while ago but it was just this week that I put the finishing touches to it. At least I think it is finished. It is a heavily textured painting, painted with pallet knives mostly. I used scrapers and brushes to work back into the surface. The dimensions of the painting are H40xW50xD1.5cm
