The Twins in Spring

It does look better with that missing centimetre included: I'll put an improved version on my blog. https://wightpaint.blogspot.com/ in a while.

That's beautifully painted Robert...and I see the little rat!

Has a lovely feel to it Robert ... even missing a bit!

Beautifully done

Very impressive, Robert. I also see the little rat (your signature?)!

Well that's a change! I actually liked the underpainting which was atmospheric and totally different. The end result here is lovely however - Spring beautifully captured.

Lovely feeling of sunlight and strong colour here Robert.

Excellent painting Robert and a superb scene , the added wildlife is really good is it a fond pet or wild .

Lovely fresh spring scene, Robert.

Yup, the rat is my signature, on everything other than paintings in which a rat would be distressed to appear - eg, seascapes - or portraits, in case the subject feels I was making an unkind point. But I don't paint many portraits. Thanks for comments.

A lovely painting Robert. I spied the rat!

Really beautiful Robert, super spring colours; a real eye-catcher!

Lovely, lovely greens.

Really well done Robert 🙂

A fine piece of work Robert; lovely brushwork.

Lovely Robert - looks fresh and I really like your brush strokes.

Wow Robert, that's beautifully painted. A very scenic place, bright and fresh.

Sunny with lush green foliage, very different to the underpainting. As a non acrylic/oils user that's always interesting for me because I can't do it with watercolour, even with gouache in quite the same way. Fine work Robert.

Lovely fresh colours and lively brushwork

Great painting Robert. I ike the sweep of the grasses, which gives it interest and energy.

Lovely, lively fresh feel to it Robert, beautifully painted.

Very pleasing to the eye.

Missed this one, its just popped up on the top banner. You’ve put some thought and man hours into this piece… There’s some rather interesting mark making going on, a very commendable piece if I may say so. Now for critique.., well you haven’t asked but I’ll just make one observation, as one does - perhaps a little less detail on the further grasses and even the tree. In fact I would have darkened the foliage on the tree considerably… but that’s me! And I’m nitpicking to some extent.

Fantastic, Robert.

This sprang out at me, lovely colours, brushmarks, and of course the little rat.

Alan - the darker foliage will be offered for your delight when full Summer hits - say, August - I was after the fresh Spring greens here, though as someone remarked on the forum, muting acrylics can be a bit difficult - the colours do tend to be a lot brighter than we're used to with oil or watercolour: so I think ... yes, I did see the tree greens as brighter than they were, but by that time I liked the way they just sank into the sky's Cobalt blue.... so left 'em. Onwards and upwards..... I did significantly reduce the colour of the tree/bush clump on the right, by scumbling the sky colour over it; so yes, I understand your point. Thanks for your comment, and those who have joined the fray since my last reply.
