Marvellous movement all around your painting Sarah…..it flows. Your latest few paintings seem to have a more confident and relaxed application.

Lovely composition Sarah - your so good at this. And I love the softness of the trees as they fade into the distance and the overall colour scheme- a beautiful painting.
