A Yorkshire Farm. 9x12, Oils on board.


This painting is from a photograph that I have had for some time. I liked the darkness of the Tree that seems to lighten the building.

  5. Your paintings just get better and better...I am sorry that I missed the last few because they are real gems. Your trees have such majesty and great color. The little building tucked in among the greenery draws my eye. These paintings are so well done...the drawing...the color...the well planned and executed compositon...and your wonderful TREES. So nice!!

  9. I love the colours and tones. In fact the painting looks more colourful than it actually is and it just glows.

  10. Hi Keith.
    Thank you for your comment. You say that the painting seems to glow, well, I`m glad you said that because I put a coat of red Acrylic on before I started in the hope that it did just that. Thanks Keith and all the best.

  14. Hi Sue.
    Thank you very much for your comment. I did enjoy painting it, and couldn`t wait to do so. As I have said, I liked the contrast of the dark greens and the light of the building. Thanks again Sue and all the best.

  16. Hi Frank.
    Thanks for your nice comment. yes, sometimes one can overdo the brick work eh? I`ve changed my undercoat from red to pink now, I don`t really know why though except seeing one of my favourite Artist`s do it. All the best Frank.
    Vic.
