In the woods, up near Devil’s Dyke this morning.

Comments

Love it Shirley. There is a frenzy about it, perhaps it was the boys running about which influenced the quick loose style.

You have caught the light and the moment well. Has that carefree look that certainly works.

Love the energy in the painting

There’s something different and very appealing about this Shirley. I love your use of colour especially that ‘salmon’ tone which lightens the whole painting. I wonder you didn’t include the boys!?

Another good one Shirley

I love all those colours peeping through the trees.

Another terrific painting Shirley, I like the dark tones which work so well with the brighter colours.

Thanks very much for these lovely comments. I felt very loosened up doing this, with many different implements. Maybe the screaming helped!

Painting in the woods with my friend Lucy. A gang of about 50 boys ran screaming backwards and forwards behind me, letting loose something!
