It needs no more fiddling with. I am not surprised you framed it immediately.

Hi Robert - this painting has a lovely 'chalkiness' to the colors which make them soft and subtle. It is a very simple scene, which could easily have been a bit boring. However, your skill with the brush and your sure eye with colour and texture have ensured that this is a very engaging work. The trees are full of character and the light falling on them is super. One of your best I feel.

Robert - Having read your request on the forum I came to this page right away. The trouble with the growing number of POL members obviously is that your postings disappear from view in next to no time. I like your painting which holds all the wonderful characteristics of a Robert Jones. Question - Are you not worried about the oil paint sticking to the frame?

A lovely sunny painting, I can see why you are proud of it. A little darker in the foreground may have helped with the lead-in along the path and (not that it needs it) helped to highlight your lighter areas. I agree with Thea it does have a lovely chalkiness about it. Nice work.

I immediately recognised this as one of your beautiful landscape paintings, Robert. I agree with the above comments. Well captured balance between light and shadow, painted in your typical brush style. Well done.

I think this is great .and I agree what others have said ,, and I know why you like it yourself .you are freeing up more and finding that elusive thing that makes you say I am happy with this one ...so.. looking on the left banking and the way you have used your brush .in a loose style .with not done the over brushing I think it is spot on ,Robert me lad you have cracked it with this one . Ps//well you asked and thats my honest opinion see thi

Quite right to leave it alone Robert. It's very fresh and beautiful and very you!

Oh, by the way - there's a rat in it.... some way up the path, for those who like to search for these things.

Super piece, Robert, full of atmosphere and life.

agreed, splendd work Robert as always! and cheers for your comment on my African Girl watercolour this evening, love how you painted the undergrowth along this path, and made it look believable

Firstly thanks for your comment on my Broughty Ferry Castle painting. To be honest I don't know where to start you have such a wide variety and voluminous portfolio. I've skimmed through a few and chose this one as I felt it was most recent and the description you gave the process gives it a feel of immediacy. Going out into the country with easel paints and canvas then framing it all in a oner appeals to me. I must confess I can scutter about for ages fiddling and tweaking (not Twerking by the way) and finding I've lost the painting and can't get back to the better place I was in earlier. I can think of no better way of spending a sunny warm day.
