Leicestershire Villages - Swinford

Beautiful Michael - colours, composition, atmosphere. A winner.

Different colours but lovely as always Michael!

Thanks both of you for your kind comments - looks as if all of us who posted this morning have now been pushed down the pages by a multi-poster - heigh ho!!

Splendid work, Michael. Not an easy scene to compose and execute, but you've done it really well. Super piece!

I like it, especially the colour of the large tree.

Super palette Michael and exceedingly good as Mr. Kipling says.

I think this is one of your bests, Michael. Beautiful composition and I especially like the colour palette you used.

Thanks again - it's mainly light red, french ultramarine, raw sienna, burnt sienna and cobalt blue - I rather liked the rain barrel which added just that little bit of interest.

Really lovely - the broken window is a great touch. The whole scene looks very authentic and believable.

I agree with Mia, one of your best Michael. Good strong washes.

Lovely scene so charming.

Thanks Thea, Stephen and Carole. The broken window was what first attracted me to this - just adds that something extra to the overall scene.
