Bleasedale by Ruth Dolan

Lovely calm air about this - great use of washes.

I agree with Michael Ruth, it's a lovely peaceful painting, I wonder if that's what you remember about the spot? I think your graduated washes are supberb!

Ruth, this is really lovely! The colors are super and it's so atmospheric!

Very nice blend of colour, well balanced. skillfully done.

Wonderful colours and a real sense of majesty, Ruth.

Thank you all for your kind comments...very much appreciated.

Lovely use of wash, and I really like the focus of the fence leading the eye into the painting. Super!

Thank you ,Lesley.

Ruth, you use your paintbrush so confidently and also just let the paint flow and describe the scene. Your paintings are always inventive in style and often surprise me as each one if so different from the one before. I expect you just react to what you are painting and that is the style in which you paint it. Best way I believe. Well done - will wait to see it in the flesh when we meet up.

Hello Thea and thank you for your remarks. I often am surprised myself by what happens when I paint, and that is the joy of watercolour, isn't it, the unpredictability. Some paintings seem to paint themselves. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

This is lovely Ruth...... the colours and diffusing pigments, very atmospheric.

Thank you Avril. I have been trying to get more light and air into my paintings recently.

Lovely use of wet in wet and, like everyone else, I love the tranquility this painting evokes.

Really nice calm feel to this painting Ruth. Good use of color and value.

Thank you, Alan, I don't work much in watercolour these days, but you may just have kick-started me back to it. Thank you for looking and commenting.
