At Keston lakes. 9x12, oils on board.


I did this one a few weeks ago at keston lakes. This is the second one I did whilst there. I wasn`t going to post it because I wasn`t too sure whether it was good enough to post, then I thought, why not, so here it is, like it or not.

  1. And I'm glad you did post this Vic. Your greens are superb. I know how to mix the greens I want but I just never seem to get them right, especially the lighter values. Lovely sunlit effect on that tree. All the best Vic, Michael :)

    Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I went out with our club Sunday to Rottingdean, Brighton. Fantastic day and good company. One oil sketch and one pencil Sketch. I will do a painting from the oil Sketch and see how it goes. thanks again Michael and all the best.

  4. Hi Hilda.
    Thank you very much, I`m glad you like it. It is a lovely area to paint. It has about three lakes all gorgeous, and most of the time the lakes are deep green and brown mixture. All the best Hilda.

  7. I think this one is certainly good enough to post. There is good depth in the foliage and nice light on the tree.

  9. Hi Joan.
    Thank you my friend. I love the two thumbs up bit, also the brilliant word. I went out for a couple of hours this morning. Lovely farm cottage. I can`t believe how it turned out. The colour scheme was completely different to my usual colours, I don`t know why. I shale do another from it, but not those colours. All the best Joan.
