It's turned out very well Stephen, nice range of evening colour |& tone. Makes a lovely painting.

Many thanks Willie, I always felt Ron was underrated as. a teacher. I learned a lot from his books and still have one of his hakes, which I find good for texture.

Excellent painting Stephen your tonal range is spot on. I can see the Ron Ranson influence and agree he was a very good teacher.

This is a cool one Stephen.

Good old Ron, always has been a source of inspiration to many artists, this is excellent Stephen.

Like the muted colours Stephen.

This is lovely Stephen, both in colour and depth

Beautiful

Very many thanks everyone for your encouraging thoughts, much appreciated. He obviously thought long and hard about the composition in his paintings. The sky arranged so that the dark tree stands out against the yellow part of the sky, which is complemented by the purpleish darker part. I rarely change things like that.

Just super Stephen. Great feel to this piece.

Excellent Stephen.

Lovely painting Stephen.

Many thanks John, George and Paula, for your encouragement.

I agree with the other comments, superb painting

Lovely work Stephen and Yes Ron was a very good teacher I've enjoyed his books all of them .

Many thanks, Annie and Dennis.

I have a couple of Ron’s books, must look them out again and have a browse. This is a beautiful example Stephen, but very much your own.

Many thanks Fiona,, the original is much stronger.

Lovely watercolour - very atmospheric

Many thanks, Maureen and Linda.

In the few months I've missed pol, the improvement in your work is plain to see, excellent tonal work and as always ,lovely composition.

Very nice professional looking work Stephen. Most convincing and the figures make it. .

Painted this quickly wet in wet at the art group tonight. It is based on an exercise in an old Ron Ranson book.
