Towards Heights Church, Delph. by Stephen Slater

Nice work, Stephen, this is new style for you.

Nice earthy tones Stephen.

Many thanks Cesare and Henry. Perhaps because it was not my own photo I approached things a little differently.

Lovely sky and fields Stephen.

I like this one a lot Stephen, a good style.

Great sky and good use of a limited palette on the fields.

Many thanks Sarah, Alan and Brian for your kind remarks.

A slightly different approach Stephan, but I like it. Muted colours blend perfectly into the landscape, very nice.

Many thanks Andre,

Beautiful sky and I love the way your eye wanders through the fields to reach the house. Diana

I like the patchwork fields and the composition Stephen.

Many thanks Diana and Carole.

A smashing depiction of a very painterly area. That tree sets the cottage well

Very nice and very different Stephen! The only thing is, I'd have continued the line/hedge of the green middle field right across the paper, and then darkened the resulting field a little. . It looks unfinished to me at the moment. I'm being honest and otherwise like this one!

Many thanks Derek and Louise, I suppose the problem with painting from a photo of a familiar spot, you tend to copy it too much, I 'm sure it would look better if I done as you suggested.

Love this Stephen - I can see you are moving on.

Many thanks for your encouraging thoughts Frank.
