Sunset

Well done - after the long tiring days I had when working, the last thing I had the energy for was painting in oil: a bit of a play with pen and ink, or watercolour, perhaps.... I like the subtle way you've lit the cetral part of the landscape: you've let the sky "take the strain", whereas it would have been tempting to give equal prominence to sky and land (which I doubt would have worked anything like so well).

Beautiful Rachel.

A wonderful painting Rachel. It's all about the sky which is beautifully done.

Lovely work Rachel - l just want to stare into this scene and "travel behind the sun".

Very beautiful Rachel 😍

This is a lovely sunset Rachel. A beautiful sky.

Gorgeous mark making and the palette is amazing!

The sky is mesmerising Rachel. It certainly is full of inspiration and so arresting.

Thank you so much Robert, Denise, Fiona, Bob, Faye, Spencer, Alan and Carole, such compliments, so encouraged.

Totally agree with all Robert says!

Glorious!

One of your best Rachel - the colours are just right together, the directional strokes give so much interest. I love that “ illuminated” red on the horizon.

Great palette and bold marks. So Good Rachel

Great brush work and colour Rachel.

This is lovely Rachel. Your colours are wonderful. Particularly like the trees in the middle being lit by the rays of sun.

Thank you all again for such wonderful comments/compliments- it’s so very encouraging - 💖💖 thank you again..

Great atmosphere and colour Rachel.

What a bloomin cracker, that gal! My apologies for my late comment Rachel……I agree about this being perhaps one of your best. The colours are spot on, together with your expressive marks, it’s a stunner.

Thank you so much Shaun and Fiona- your all so encouraging - much gratitude

Glorious. Not only is the palette beautiful, the atmosphere is dramatic
