Blackthorn out at The Haven

Comments

This is really good Robert, I like it and the blackthorn which is always great at this time of year.

A very good dirty postcard Robert that the tourist will love. Joking aside it’s a really good painting , obviously your standing to close to it, as always is the case the artist sees it different to his audience. Don’t beat yourself up about it, sit back and accept the praise, it certainly worth it.

This really appeals to me Robert; super sky and blackthorn. I could imagine coming down that hill quite quickly!!

Love your Blackthorn Robert. Not an easy plant to depict.

Oil on birch panel, 12" x 17" - Cerulean Blue, Ultramarine, Cremnitz White, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Orange (Hue), Cadmium Yellow, Burnt Sienna, Mars Orange. I really didn't like this: it looked like a touristy postcard, and I've dirtied it up a bit; but - still unsure.
