This is another in my series of local views though this one is less stylised than the previous two, but I have pushed the colours again. I posted a plein air version back in July last year and when I found it in my sketchbook to do this version, I was quite pleased with the watercolour I had done out in the fields.
So in some way I have taken a backward step with this painting by not pushing it graphically but I am pleased with the summery vibrancy and the looseness.
In the meantime I have been reworking the first two. I’ll post them soon when all the changes have been made.

Very vibrant in comparison, I like the sky color in the new version!

Thanks Tiffany. I was thinking the sky might be a bit strange and was going to change it, but after your comment I’ll leave it alone.

The change in colour really changes the depth of field. Very interesting!

I suppose there isnt much tonal change in the watercolour and depth is mainly achieved through perspective lines. In the acrylic there is more colour and detail in the foreground ( although there is still a dark band in the background – but this occupies less relative space ) Coupled with that there is more blue in the background plus the perspective lines as well in the acrylic.

I love the second version , Graham. The strong colours are just what I like in a painting.

Thanks Margaret. The colour seems to enhance the feeling of summer for me – even if that’s not actually the case in reality.
