A Villa in Spain

Lovely colours Stephen - the weather looks good - I hope it was.

You've produced some excellent paintings from your recent holiday snaps Stephen. Your talent for mixing greens isn't only with wartercolours, these look good too.

Yes agree with Fiona - do like the way you have avoided fussy detail.

You have a very impressive collection of fine paintings in your portfolio. Keep them coming.

Many thanks, Julie, Fiona, Michael and Pat, for your encouraging comments. I'm quite a novice with oils but enjoy the rich colours they give.

A beautiful painting Stephen! I can nearly feel the heath and hear the cascas.

Don't you just want to be there now? It is a lovely, sunny painting and it cheers me up on this wet day :)

Thank you for your kind remarks, Satu and Sarah. It's great to be back in the UK Sarah! (not)

Beautiful painting Stephen

Thanks once again Glennis.

Stephen - in case you miss it I have added a witticism to the parrots - thanks for putting the idea forward

Hi Stephen... Thanks for visiting my gallery. If I could master buildings as you have, I would be very happy; it would open a new door in my painting world; especially my desire to do impressionism as well as this. Such a simple scene, but well composed and executed. Lovely work. As you say, some things look easy, but they just 'ain't'! Regards, John

Thanks John, simple buildings are'nt that hard to draw and paint, like everything else, it comes down to practice!,

Stephen, keep up with your oils - they show so much promise. This is lovely, and the touch of orange is just right to lift the other colors and to hold the attention of the viewer. It's a lovely piece.

Many thanks once again Seok.
