Like this Tessa, lovely colour palette

You have shaped this landscape up very well indeed Tessa.

Love your description of how this came about, a fun way to paint that’s produced a fine painting.

A superb painting Tessa , the mountains looks so good .

A great feeling when something works, as this does. It sounds like fun Tessa, it needs skill to make it into something like this!

Nice work Tessa… I liked the winners submission!

This is really good, super colours.

I like this Tessa it's looking good.

Many thanks all. I meant to say this was painted with one 1/2” brush- great fun. I was thinking of removing some of the red underpainting but the art group said no so I left it at least for now! Alan I also liked the winner’s submission. Often I don’t agree with the choice of winner but feel that they generally do a really good job with the final commission and the challenge is always interesting. I guess the judges see something that I don’t.

Lovely work Tessa.

A cracker Tessa. From your initial blocking in you have transformed it into a painting packed with atmosphere.

Worked out very well Tessa.

I really like this !

Thanks again ladies. x

Nicely done 👏👏

Having watched the LAOTY final recently the wonderful Croagh Patrick came to mind, but this is just an idea and could be any other mountain range. I thought I might do more to this, and still might.

I have returned to painting over the last sixteen years or so, having relocated from Cardiff to the Cotswolds in 2009 and joined the Guiting Power Art Group. Although I did a year's Foundation Course at Cardiff art college after leaving school, I hadn’t painted much in the interim, except for a few…
