This is lovely ... hurrah to oils!

It’s a fabulous cottage and you’ve done the ‘ambience of the place’ justice… and in oils which are second to none!

Great composition and execution with the subtle colours so right for the season

A super oil painting Tessa…..love the textures particularly. A successful return to the medium.

This is great Tessa. Great textures and atmosphere to it capturing the season.

Thank you all so much for your kind comments. Am out for the day so just catching up. X

Love all the textures and colours in the foreground.

Posts move so fast I almost missed this lovely one. It's all excellent, particularly the foreground with those colours and textures.

Many thanks Jenny and Marjorie, and yes they do disappear quickly!

Gorgeous work with so much character to it!
