Nice work in oil and use of subdued colors and hue in this pastoral scene. Love the reflected images in the pond. Nice work

Comment from Julie Dennett


Very nice a dreamy painting. You did well without using a very wide spectrum of color. You created depth with the value of the colors. Nice reflection in the water. Very peaceful. Nice work!

Aren't you lucky to be living in Dedham where you can be influenced by the surroundingsand atmosphere of the place as well as the fact that a 'world class' painter once lived and painted there!...The colouring in this oil painting could well have been done with watercolours altho' the true beauty of it probably cannot be seen on my screen..Keep painting and good luck...Rob

Your work shows that you enjoy doing art, the soft color very smooth. Make the landscape seem peacefull and calm. Like how you make the water to also have some personality and reflect the trees and other details, Great!!!
