That is so cool, love it. Terrific painting.

Nice greens... Lovely and cool.. Just right for the mood you're setting.

Thank you very much Fred and Alan!

Oh I love this Satu, so natural and beautifully executed.

You are very versatile Satu. This brings to mind a few of the paintings of the Impressionists - the light and the greens I think. The bit I love best is the swirl of water at the feet of the "plodgers" ( that's a North Eastern term for "paddlers").😉

Wonderful painting Satu, and lovely scene.

The word glorious sprang to mind when I saw this. Just excellent.

Thank you so much Carole, Marjorie, Cesare and Gudrun for the lovely comments!

Beautiful painting, I was particularly drawn to your greens.

Thank you very much Sandra!

A wonderful impressionistic painting, Satu. It's so of that era and style, with a modern touch lobbed into the pot for good measure. The clothing gives this one a time frame. Gorgeous. Bri

Love the cool greens, Satu. Are those stepping stones in the foreground? - looks a lot like one of our popular local river spots near Box Hill.

Lovely gentle scene, captures a moment in time. The figures have life too.

Excellent Satu, I wish I could handle greens like that they make this painting.

Gorgeous greens and a picture of coolness captured so well.love the loose brush strokes Satu.

This is a spot by the towpath between Maidenhead and Cookham. There’s like a tiny beach with some stones rolled along the water. On the other side there’s a high “wall” of trees, hence the greens reflecting on the river. Thank you ever so much Bri, Jenny, Stephen, Val and Tessa for the great comments!

Cool...in every way! Lovely greens and super atmosphere, Satu, the foreground and overhanging trees are brilliant!

Thank you very much Thalia!

Beautifully executed Satu.....so cool and fresh with wonderful darker tones which inject it with brightness and life.

Gorgeous greens, reflections, figures, love it.

Thank you very much Fiona and Sandra for kind comments!

On my recent walk by the river Thames I saw these two ladies paddling in the water thoroughly enjoying the coolness of it. I asked a permission to take a photo and they said yes. Here it is in acrylics 40cm x 50cm on canvas.
