The Church at Ashby Magna by Michael Edwards

A lovely piece, Michael, super composition, bright, clean and crisp. Wonderful work!

Lovely peaceful work Michael.

A lovely traditional English scene Michael, the mellow stone of the church and the old grave stones make a lovely contrast to fresh colours of the grass, trees and sky.

This all sits together so well, the light and shade spot-on. lovely work.

Thanks all - your comments are so encouraging especially since it isn't all that easy painting any building full on and I can't say this was one of my more inspiring subjects lovely though the church is.

Beautiful watercolour with superb washes Michael

That's a splendid watercolor, no doubts. But it would be even more splendid when you do another line drawing. Not that I order you but...

Super piece Michael, love the composition.

Super watercolour Michael, I love the washes on the roof and gravestones.

Thanks again all. Ivan, my friendly arch enemy, just for you I will pen a new line drawing in the morning - oh heck - now I've got to find a subject!!

A super feeling of sunlight in this one Michael especially on the church. I've just started a church painting, if it turns out half as good as this I'll be a very happy bunny:)

well that's easy: if you don't have a subject, just draw a nude. That's pretty much the essence of my own art :D

Beautifull watercolour Michael - great composition.

Really very nice Michael. You certainly know your watercolours!

Thanks Val, Ivan, Dympna and louise

Such a tranquil and serene painting Michael. The colour at the back of the gravestones is so beautiful and the trees are majestic.

Thanks Satu. the colour on the back of the gravestones is cobalt blue plus burnt sienna and a tad of sap green at the bottom which doesnt show up so well in the photo.

A really nice painting Michael, like the composition and you have captured the perspective well of the church ,The tones and crispness of your colours are first class . Like this a lot.

Very nice again Michael, love your colour for the church roof and the headstones.
