Sheep grazing. 8x6, oils on board.


This painting is completely made up from memory. I have seen it somewhere. I have used a different colour mixture this time.

  2. Vic, this is a brilliant painting. Your memory serves you well my friend. I love your colors and the composition is interesting. The viewer has a feeling of being there. Well done. All the best to you.

  3. Hi Mariano my friend.
    Thank you for your comment. I was pleased with this one seeing that it only took me 1 hour to paint. I got fed up with a long drawn out painting of Tower bridge, so I got myself a 8x6 board and put a coat of light red all over it and got stuck in this afternoon. Thank you Mariano and all the best.

  6. Another wonderful painting. I could never paint from "memory". That is an Art by itself. Great job Vic.

  7. Hi Vic,

    You created a beautiful painting in one hour. It seems like it was what you needed. I love the colors in the tree and the bare branches as well as the greens of the foliage. Great memory!

    Best ot you Vic,

    Sue

  8. Thank you Teresa. I`m glad you like this one. It was a quickie painting. I think the longer you spend on a painting it isn`t as good as a longer one. That`s probably why the Plein Air one`s are the best eh?

  9. Thank you Hilda for your nice comment. Normally I can`t paint or draw from Mwemory either, but I wanted a small quick landscape after spending a long time on a painting of Tower Bridge. All the best Hilda.

  11. Vic, this is a truly lovely painting. The degree of detail from memory is amazing. The color is vibrant and you have used a wide varity of values and hues. That you painted this in an hour is astonishing to me. Personally, I could never do that...you have a variety of wonderful gifts!!!
    All the best to you,
    Linda
