Spring Shadows , Daisy Nook.

I had a walk in Daisy Nook earlier and took some photos, intending to paint from one at the art group this evening. Sadly I left the photo at home and had to try from memory. I think it worked better as I did not add to much detail, as I often do from a photo.

Lovely work Stephen

Your style is so recogniseable and smashing Stephen

Nice warm colour Stephen with the sun catching the figures. I do like the size and quality of images on the new site!

Many thanks everyone for your kind comments, much appreciated. I agree Louise the images are very good, I was obviously a bit hasty with my comments but I never like change - bit of dinasoar!

You really have the knack for bringing an artistic bent to everyday scenes, Stephen. This is lovely, it conveys the simple pleasures of a little jaunt beautifully.

Many thanks once again Seok.

Lovely shadows and light. I do like the way you haven't over-defined the people - just outlines and suggestions - the best way I think.

Many thanks Thea once again Thea , for your kind comments.

I felt uncomfortable with the new look site as well Stephen. It felt as though I'd lost an old friend. Then as the familiar names appeared, I found my way around, posted a couple of my own, I realised that I rather liked the change. The images are so much better now and we do seem to be on the front page for longer don't you think. Feeling a lot happier now about the changes. I too think that I was a bit hasty, even thinking on day one that I'd leave! Now I've 'settled in', I much prefer this new improved site!.Just wish this tidgy comment box was a bit bigger (so I can see more easily just what I've written) and mp's done a away with and then it would be perfect!!

Your signature loose washes and fabulous trees Stephen!

Many thanks once again, Thea and Fiona.
