Had a job with this to get the colouring right. Still the bluebell on the left not quite right.

Fabulous John, that area in shadow is just right!

A lovely array - I've found bluebell colour tricky too so you're not alone and I also agree with Alan

This lovely, John - especially the effect of some in the light, some in the shadow.

Light and shade and beautiful blue bells, wonderful.

Getting the blue is difficult,I remember Sylvia who loved to paint bluebells that the are purple and blue . They look fine as does the background trees , agree with Alan the shaded area is spot on .

Blue bells are always a welcome sight. Really like your painting, impressed by the patches of shadow and sunlight…skilfully done.

Beautiful spring painting.

Delightful John.

A wonderful painting John - full of light and ‘joie de vivre’. You should be very proud of this.

A lovely Spring pinting .

A gorgeous host of bluebells adding colour to a very good painting. I particularly like how you’ve captured the shaded area.

Really like the toned down areas of shade John.

Thank you POL folks for your feedback it is very much appreciated.

I like the contrast John. Ratify shading.

Love this one John, agree about the shaded areas, great contrast.
