Rapeseed fields - St Ives - Cambs by Peter Nelson

Works well - especially because you didn't overdo the fields of oil-seed rape, which can ruin a painting with impressive speed if the colour's too intense.

I like you paintings including this one. Here the colours appear brighter and I cannot decide whether it is that you use quite a toned background for most of them or whether the photography is not showing the colours as bright as they appear in the originals. I have had problems myself in getting the photographed image to appear with the same colour hues and appearance as the original. Keep up the good work.

This challenge you have met well. Your colours are harmonious and the distant rapeseed fields tone nicely with the darker hue of the foreground.

well, i have to say you have achieved 100% with this painting, you have a lot of talent, and it looks as good as a photograph :-)

Great painting , well balanced and beautiful colours.

hi i think you mastered it well domne beatiful tonal colours xx

Well you certainly rose to the challange. The oil seed rape fields tone in beautifully but it is the way you've painted the bushes and trees, especially the foreground bush, that really caught my eye. Impressive.

Challenge well met Peter!

This excels Peter - super watercolour

As already said, challenge well met. As Robert mentions, the yellow is just right and not overwhelming.

Rapeseed is, to my mind, far too strong a colour for the English countryside and it packs a real punch against the natural vegetation, and I like your interpretation very much indeed. The yellows are super and because the greens aren't too strong everything gels. Your painting of the foreground tree is amazing!

This is a beauty. I especially like the tree and the bushes in the foreground. Overall it is well balanced in tone and composition.

Lovely job.

You have captured beautifully a very difficult subject , I particularly like the foreground with the parched earth showing through the grass.
