This is the Acrylic painting I did from my Watercolour sketch at Hall Place. It`s slightly different from the sketch. Actually it is a lot different from the Sketch.

  4. Hi Hilda.
    Thank you for your nice comment. Yes it is a lovely place to paint and as you say, to have a picnic. Mind you, the rain that we are having lately, this isn`t the place to be. All the best Hilda.

  5. Your warm underpainting adds so much to these beautiful green colors. I have a hard time with green so I am envious!

  6. Hi Julie.
    I`m glad that you like it. Thank you for your nice comment. Yes Julie before I start painting, I put a coat of Acrylic Pink. achieved by Mixing up Cad` red, Burnt sienna and white. I love doing that and it dries in no time. It doesn`t seem that you have trouble getting nice greens. your paintings are gorgeous. All the best Julie.

  7. Very nice work Vic. As a keen photographer I'm always cropping photo's to find the picture-within-the-picture so I really like how you've 'cropped' this scene out of your original sketch.

  8. Hi John.
    I`m glad that you like it mate. thank you for your comment. Yes I always crop my photos John. Or if it is a sketch I usually crop that as well. I don`t know if you are retired like me, but I find I have less time to do anything these days. Is it the same with you John? All the best.

  10. Hi Vic,

    I tried to leave a comment earlier, but it didn't show this post. So my friend, once again you have produced a brilliant painting. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful your tones and various shades of green are, so very difficult to accomplish. And yes, John is right about the composition it's perfect. Mike and I are going out for a walk, it's a lovely evening, the heat wave finally broke.

    All the best to you,
    Joan

  11. Hi Vic,

    The light and shadows are beautiful in this painting as well as the trees. Your use of green is is always exceptional, I don't know how you do it.

    Best to you,
    Sue

  13. Hi Joan.
    As usual my friend, a lovely comment from you. What happened Joan was that several of my post`s disappeared, and Although I got intouch with my Vic, I managed to accidentally fixed it myself. I don`t know how I did it, but I did. These blogs eh? I`m about to check out yours now. I hope you both enjoyed your walk Joan. All the best to you both.

  16. A wonderful picture, Vic. I feel I could walk into it and take 40 winks under the tree. I love the restful shades of green.

    Really lovely picture.
