Well done for having this lovely painting selected for September Roger. I love the colours you have chosen, and the ripples in the water are so realistic. The geese and swan are beautifully painted - altogether a lovely image.

It was the wonderful colours that caught my eye Roger then on closer examination I realised that I had found a gem of a painter,your gallery is full of beautiful paintings and this one deserves to be picked out as best of the month.

I would like to thank everyone for their kind comments about this painting. I was walking past this same location recently and saw almost an identical scene, with the swan and moorhen in the same positions and poses with three geese in-front. Really quite strange.

Love your accurate realism, a painter after my own heart. Excellent use of contrasting color and good lights and darks.

Lakeside Days- Original acrylic painting on wooden panel 49.5cm X 40cm Where I live is a typical middle class housing estate in the West Midlands of England. The estate was named Lakeside by the developers, and included as a feature a man-made lake. This painting was done from a reference images took in January of 2012 when the sun was low in the sky, casting interesting shadows and reflections on the waters of the lake. The mud bank upon which the swans, geese and ducks regularly alighted seemed to take on a silvery sheen, almost a glow.
