Winter Sunset, Hartshead Pike by Stephen Slater

Wonderful feeling of autumn light or that time of the evening when everything can look golden. A very simple scene made interesting by lovely brushwork and a good composition. I like your two little figures as they draw the eye into the painting.

Is this really the same painting Stephen? So glad you had another go at the photo because this is superb. You have made the whole thing so interesting with your brush strokes; some go horizontal, some vertical and some diagonal ( as in the clouds) and everything pointing to the 'pike'. Beautiful colours too.

Beautiful autumn scene

Many thanks, Thea, Fiona and Glennis for your kind remarks, much appreciated.

Lovely glowing colours, Stephen. A very atmospheric painting.

What a stunning sunset this is, Stephen! I like the view, the "simple" composition and the warm, atmospheric colours. Beau-ti-ful....

Lovely warm feeling to this painting Stephen.

A lovely mellow autumn atmosphere, Stephen. Very nicely done!

Many thanks, Jane, Mia, Denise and Seok for your encouraging comments.

I love this and your Daisy Nook Autumn especially Stephen,. I thought you said you were a water colour artist? clearly not so you have a great mastery of both media. PS - couldn't paint tonight working late :( So came on line for inspiration and i found it here. Mel

Thanks Mel for your encouraging words. Pauline made a fleeting appearance last night but has jetted off again for a couple of weeks!
