Thank you Linda. Skylar and Sylvia, thanks also. I’m happy with a draw! 👍

Beautiful, Tessa, I cannot find this 'forum' you all talk about....not good with computers, so can't comment on interpretation, but it's gorgeous. Flower colours are often tricky, to put it mildly!

Tessa you’ve done a wonderful interpretation of Sylvia’s image. I like the way you have included more of the background, works really well.

Oh it's gorgeous Tessa, the flowers are spot on with the colour. I like the light too, excellent painting🎨

Just love those gradations of purple and the luminous light on the water and hills Tessa. Smashing.

Thank you all for your generous comments, Maureen, Dennis, Fiona, Margaret and Carole. Glad you like it. I wasn’t sure quite how to do the bluebells as obviously can’t do them all but just a suggestion and the right colour (with help from Sylvia) and the brain fills in the detail, well that’s the idea!

Glorious painting Tessa, I will have a go at Sylvia’s photo for the forum challenge but the bar is set very high.

Thank you Rachel and John. Go on John, give it a go! We’re not competitive, are we???!

12x10” oil on board, from a photo put on the Forum recently. I’ve cropped the photo slightly to make more of the distance and the loch. The bluebells are a tricky colour but it was an enjoyable scene to paint. Hope I’ve done it justice!
