Farnborough, Kent. 6x8, oils on board.



I did this painting Plein Air this morning at around 9am. I had virtually finished it when a chap with his dog came up and said, could I have a look, naturally I said yes. that was it. no more painting. He told me his life story and I told him some of mine. All I had`to do to complete it was place that little sign in that dark area, so I did it at home. I did enjoy the chat though. The Photo is my kit packed and ready to leave.

    Wow Vic, this is great. That fact that you did all this on locations. Finishing off the little sign is no big deal. This is totally plein air. Well done my friend. Enjoy the rest of your day.

    Hi Sue.
    Thank you for your welcome comment. I only spent two hours there and some of that was talking to my visiter. I enjoyed the chat almost as much as doing the painting. It was a brilliant couple of hours. All the best Sue.

    Hi Laura.
    Thank you very much for your comment. I did enjoy the couple of hours that I was there. I still can`t get over your beautiful paintings in your last but one posting. I do strive to get better but can`t ever hope to get to your level. All the best Laura.

    It's a lovely painting. Looks like an Old Master's landscape.

    Hi Teresa.
    Thank you very much for the the term, Old Masters landscape. I don`t deserve that praise so thank you a lot. All the best Teresa.
