This painting was done from a Photograph that my Blogger friend Ralph Parker gave me prmission to use. The light and shade with the dappled light showing through really got me excited, and when I saw it on his posting, I had`to paint it, and he kindly gave me permission to use his Photograph, It`s obviously different to the photo, I`m no detailed painter, but prefer to paint it this way.

    Good morning my friend. Oh Vic, this is beautiful. Love the way you captured the dappled light and your various shades of green wonderful. Ralph Parker is such a nice person, he is always willing to help and share. He has helped me so much with my gouache painting. Michael Bailey told me about him. I can't stop looking at this painting. Lovely work Vic.

    All the best to you,
    Joan

    Hi Joan.
    As usual from you a brilliant comment my friend. yes, Ralph is a great person isn`t he? He post`s some wonderful paintings and photographs,and the stories with them. I did mention to him that I wished that I had had the courage when I was young enough to do what he and his wife are doing together. Never mind, I`m very happy as I am now. Thank you againg my friend, and all the best.

    Beautiful painting, Vic! I love everything about it—the colors you chose, the pink sky, energetic brush strokes and the way you handled the streaks of light. I've really enjoyed scrolling through your blog this morning and seeing your many wonderful paintings and photos. You make me want to paint landscapes! Congrats to your son on his book!

    Hi Sue.
    Master of greens, well, thats a first. Thank you Sue for your lovely comment. I could`nt wait to paint this one. I do love painting Trees and Bushes. I do have a bit of a problem though with painting Thick foreground Grass. All the best Sue.

    Vic, you've kept this painting wonderfully simple and made it look easy to do, but I guess it wasn't easy!
    Lovely work.

    It has been a while since I travelled the blogs...when I saw this painting I was drawn to it immediately. It is composed beautifully. You have captured the majesty of the light filled trees offset by the beautiful pink sky. There is always a real sense of serenity in your paintings. So well done!

    Hi Hani.
    Thank you very much for your lovely comment. Sometimes I can`t wait to paint a subject, and this was one of them. That was an absolutely fantstic Horse that you have painted Hani, I hope it has been framed and sold to someone. I`m sure they would be looking at it every minute of the day. All the best Hani.
    Vic.
