Lovely work Sarah and super write up about it as well, lovely reflections

Really like this one Sarah, especially the addition of red and orange. I like the splashy effects!

Lovely colours and textures in this one, Sarah. You paint a wonderful picture of the scene, both in words and in paint.

Ros, Louise and Thea! Thank you for commenting. I am still uneasy using so much black but I did like the splattering part of this painting :)

I like the splashy effect too. I don't think you've used too much black, didn't occur to me (and I never use black) - I think it's working well tonally.

Thanks Heather, your comment has helped alot :) I was worried whether the black overpowered this :)

I like this one a lot Sarah and not too much black at all! I use black all the time in my acrylics because the intense blackness of it makes a good contrast and gives the paintings some backbone. ( Hope that you understand what I mean).

Yes, Satu I understand what you mean and thankyou for your comment. It is the contrasts that always worry me but I am so glad that you like this painting :)

I came across this ford which I'm sure has never been crossed by car ( not even a four by four). The water was clear and it was a magnet for dog walkers and young children in the area. All sorts of dogs were splashing about in the water and children were splishing in their wellies too. All good fun. Bockingford 140lbs. Sold.
