Another keston lakes painting. Painted from a Sketch that i did on site. Also Harry and I. While we were paintinmg, a young chap came out of the woods pushing a Barrow. he then loaded some stuff into a large van. He had no Shoese or socks on, and wearing shorts. I looked round and he was looking at my painting, so i said hello, he said Hi!, and that he loved my painting. I thought what a lovely young chap he was. also I admired him for wearing what ever he wanted to wear, and not bothered about what other people thought.

  1. So happy to see your post on my side bar. I would say the problem has been corrected. Your painting is beautiful my friend. Greens are so difficult to paint and you have done a wonderful job and capturing the natures true greens. Care to share your palette, I'm having some problems with mine.

    All the best to you,
    Joan

  3. Hi Joan.
    Thank you so much for your great comment. We can`t keep away from that area can we? Off to a different are tomorrow. A Church and some Cottages. Of coiurs we have been there before but not for some time. Well my friend. Colours. I do get some lovely comments about my greens, but I think the secret is- Permanent Sap Green, mixed with Ultra and Yellow Ochre. For the darker areas I add burnt Sienna to that mix. For the real highlights, I add either Cad Yellow or Lemon Yellow. I hope that helps you my friend. I am still having trouble with my Blog. really it is the problem of not getting to grips with my filing. Oh! well, one of these days I`ll get around to it. All the best Joan.

  6. Victor I've missed you on my side bar too. It's good to see you there again. You are a master of landscape. The young man was right. Every scene you paint I want to walk into it. Your paintings are very inviting.

  9. Hi Linda.
    Thank you for your nice comment. That young chap I mentioned was a really nice person. I wished i had struck up a conversation with him, and not just say Hello, and thank you. Never mind, too late now. Linda, that is a really lovely comment you have made about want to walk into it. that makes me feel good. You are like my friend Joan in as much she always makes excellent comments. These blogs of ours are not as good as they originally were are they? I don`t even get your latest postings via email anymore, don`t know why. All the best Linda.

  12. It's always great to see an artist at work and I love this painting. I'm also a fan of your greens so very much appreciate your 'recipe'. This is another great painting and I agree with Michael about that path being so inviting.

  15. Hi John.
    Thank you very much for your nice comment. I think landscapes are my favourite subjects. I do like Figures
    in a landscape, but I don`t like to put them in most of the landscapes. Thanks again John and all the best.
