Really like this Alan, lovely warm colours, and the foreground textures are brilliant.

Wow Alan, what a wonderful patchwork of colour and textures! I love the scratching out and the poppy seed heads in the foreground....you could almost touch them.

Love the textures in this Alan, also my favourite seedheads.

Wonderful: lovely colours, great textures and nice scene, Alan.

The autumnal colours are gorgeous, really impressive.

I love this painting, the textures are superb and the overall composition really great.

I should have known whose work this was! It hit me in the eye the moment I looked at the screen - this looks like oil, though I know it's acrylic: such richness in the colour and boldness in the execution.

very lively strokes and warm colour

Wow Alan, you have excelled with this one - the colours and textures are stunning.

Really like the perspective and the movement in the brush strokes on this painting Alan,<br />

Wonderful colour palate, textures and composition - yes the farmhouse building really works centralised.

Alan Bickley sent in his version of Paul's challenge, which he complted on 24 x 30 cm canvas, saying: 'Paul's photograph was a fairly low key and flat image, but on closer inspection I saw that there was a large farm building on the horizon plus another two smaller buildings. My decision was to place the larger building plumb centre in the composition, something I would normally avoid, and this became my focal point. I used the acrylic fairly heavily ,particularly on the middle distance and foreground, the dried poppies being quite raised and textured, which I found added life and interest to the work. Paul's examples of his work were very interesting and useful, albeit a bit on the small side for my style of work, I can only paint large format, so altogether a super little challenge and I may well have another go at it before long, perhaps as a semi-abstract'
