Nowt like a bit of improvisation. Great picture, the stonework is excellent.

So good Brian in every way

Thank you for your encouraging comments Thalia, Tony & Heather. Perhaps it would have been more appropriate to paint the whole barn in its setting to show off Swaledale at its best. However, I'm not convinced I would have done it justice.

I think you were right to choose this composition. It works really well.

Like the way you've used the texture of the paper to advantage Brian using the different materials. Good subject well painted. Good work.

Caught some beautiful colours in the stonework. A great piece of watercolour.

A watercolour from a photograph taken on a walk in Heaven. Well: Swaledale at least & you cannot get much closer than that.
