Summertime by Thalia Stones

Well, it was worth the effort Thalia, it's a stunner

I like this, you can feel the heat.

Excellent painting, you have caught the atmosphere really well, really like your shadow colours.

Love the richness of your pallette. Can feel the heat beginning to scorch the ground.

Wonderful vista Thalia, looks dry!

Super painting Thalia.

Beautifully painted Thalia, certainly has the hot dry Mediterranean look that is so Malta. Other Mediterranean islands have a similar look but are always so different due to the colours of the soils and rocks etc.

Thank you so much, such lovely kind comments. thank you Heather, yes, I so enjoyed it! Thank you, Lewis, Paul, Chris, Alan, Denise, and Paul. Yes you're all so right, we are mainly limestone here, and designated as a sort of part time desert, no rain between April and September!

Thalia you have perfectly captured the heat and atmosphere of the Med - the rocks in the foreground are impressive.

Well worth your efforts to produce such lovely work Thalia. This has a lovely feeling of heat and beauty which you have created with a subtle palette and use of shadows. It reaches out to the charming little buildings on the top of the hill. The viewer wants to be there, exploring.

I love those golden yellows Thalia, instantly recognisable as yours and the Med.

Superb landscape, all heat &colour. A joy!

Thank you I really appreciate these kind comments, Shaun, Tessa, and Willie, yes, Carole, the buildings on the distant hill are actually huge, and the 'Jewel' in Gozo's historical crown, the Cittadella!

Wonderful expansive view Thalia, it looks hot and dry.

Beautifully painted Thalia. Love your scenes

Thank you so much, Fiona and David

I really like this Thalia. I can feel the heat and warmth in this.

Stunning painting, love the light and heat
