You've used good, thick paint; a great way to enjoy the substance of oils; while I suppose the sky is a bit on the dark side, you've countered that with the sunlit greens, and I think this works.

Really well done Rachel, love the colour and texture.

We are getting a lot of this kind of weather at the moment Rachel. The light and shadow on the landscape is exactly what the weather conditions produce. Lovely lush paint and brush work.

Great application of oil Rachel and a super painting.
