Definitely got away with it, good one Valerie

Doesn’t need detail, nicely captured!

Beautifully done and all the better for lack of detail.

A very informative, appealing, painting without too much clutter. It portrays the farming scene perfectly Valerie.

Thankyou Heather, Alan, Paul and Carole for your much valued comments.

Lovely artwork Valerie.

Looks great Valerie.

You can really feel the tractors pull in this watercolour Valerie, super. I would say let the client fill in the detail, often less is more.

Thankyou Denise and John , appreciate your comments,

I can feel the weight of the tractor, the forward weight of the man plowing through this field. What a challenge to paint this scene and execute it so beautifully. Less is definitely more here. You handled the background with aplomb.

Thankyou Lynne for your very kind comments

Just the right amount of detail captured here in this interesting farming landscape, Valerie.

I was asked to paint this and if you don't look too closely at the machinery bits I think I've got away with it. I was hoping the overall effect would make up for lack of detail. !
