It’s an excellent landscape Tessa , well done for doing this in the heat .

Boy that was quick! Thanks Dixie.

Lovely bright painting.

What a shame it's now deserted. Lovely painting Tessa.

Super small one and in this heat too!

Many thanks all. The farm and adjacent nature reserve are supposed to be left fallow for a while to make sure no disease etc lurking there, then to be reopened with beef cattle. Timescale I was told could be a few months to a year or so in which case nature will have taken over!

So impressive, Tessa for such a small painting - it certainly has that fresh, sunny, feel to it.

Captured very well all things considered Tessa

Thank you Carole, Chris, and Martin. Always grateful for your kind comments.

Great depth for a small painting. Love your bold marks

Love the economy of brush strokes Tessa…..why use four, when one or two give a greater impact.

A very impressive oil painting Tessa. Nice brush work and palette. I’ve got two oil on the go at the moment, both are similar to this regarding a collection of farm buildings and the high horizon… Mine don’t have a blue sky though!

Many thanks all. I do like a blue sky Alan, and must admit they are not all genuine!

The economy of your brushwork creates an impressive sense of scale and fresh atmosphere for such a small oil sketch.🎨

Fabulous impressionism, Tessa, I love it.

Thanks so much Sidra and Willie.

Another 7x5” quick oil sketch . This is on one of my regular and favourite walks. It used to be until recently a dairy farm but now deserted and rapidly becoming overgrown. Too hot to paint anything more substantial at the moment.

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…
