Keston Lakes on 5/ 7/ 11




Did this painting this morning. My friend Harry and I decided to paint locally. We both did the same subject, his was in Watercolour and mine as usual was Oils. It was a brilliant couple of hours. Nice and warm, we were in the shade as you will notice with the photograph that I took of Harry. I should have used my flash on him. never mind eh?

  1. I love the way you paint foliage Vic, very nice indeed. Looks like you and Harry had a great day painting and got some fine weather too! I like your pochade - can I ask you where you got it from Vic?

  2. Oh, Vic...this is simply beautiful and elegant. I love all of the brushwork; and the pinks and peach spots of color add just the right interest. You understand value and color so well. This piece literally takes my breath away...well done!

  5. Vic another Brilliant painting from you my friend. Your brush work and colors are beautiful. Great composition. I do hope you are showing these wonderful paintings in galleries or shows.
    I do want to ask how you managed to put your panel on the tri pod I have the same pochade box and it's can be quite annoying trying to hitch it to the tri-pod.

    All the best to you,
    Joan
