Fair Haven by Seok Yam Chew

Lovely gentle watercolour, atmospheric. Thanks for your comment on the village church - I've been in a painting free zone for a few months but getting back into it again. I always like to see your paintings, especially when from different parts of the world on varied subjects

There is a hint of dreaminess to this painting. I love the reflections in the water. The browns add depth to the scene. Beautiful. Well done Seok.

Such a gentle and beautiful painting Seok! Fancy being able to paint outside! I'm in Finland at the moment and the weather is absolutely horrid, strong wind, light rain or sleet and the streets are covered with dirty puddles and old patchy ice. Looking at your lovely painting I can dream of better days to come perhaps in two months time.

Beautiful palette Seok and I love the shapes between the branches and the foliage. We are getting hints of Spring here - sunshine and longer days and the tulips and daffodils are peeping through so, on days like this I'm feeling optimistic. Thanks as always for your comments to me - now I must decide what to paint next, but not "en plein air"!

Another excellent addition to your gallery Seok!

Terrific trees Seok and great browns greens and sky washes. Lovely composition

Lovely control of watercolour here Seok, very well done

Lovely, lovely.

Beautiful watercolour Seok.

Yes - another stunner Seok

Really very beautiful Seok, the trees, reflections and atmosphere you've captured. A real pleasure to see!

Really beautiful painting - very technically accomplished as well. Superb

Thanks so very much, everyone, for your very kind comments!

Watercolour at its best !

Beautiful Seok! I'm always impressed by your working in plein air. How lovely being surrounded by such wonderful places.

Lovely techinique Seok and you have the temp much longer than in UK to attempt en plein air. Smashing job

Stunning Seok, love your gentle colour and style.

I think they've said it all - lovely counterchange, and a very effective watercolour.

Thank you very much, Lynne, Avril, Derek, Carole and Robert!

Love the way you've made this into an almost 'negative' painting, super stuff!

Seok, this is lovely and loose. You&#39;ve managed to make painting look really easy! Don&#39;t think there is a medium you haven&#39;t mastered! :) <br />

Beautiful watercolour Seok. Lovely colours and reflections.

Thanks very much, Debs, Andrea and Ruth!

Wonderfully done! Beautiful.

Love how you let the tree trunks stand out by the negative painting of the dark background. Well done !
