I am presently reviewing some of my old paintings and looking at a change in style. Here is one painting I decided to rework. It is a view across the fields at Ambleside in the English Lake District. I felt it needed emphasis of both the gentle changes in tone in the background and the light and shade of the foreground. By happy accident, extending the same palette across the whole picture produces a satisfying cohesiveness.
I may have different opinions in a few months time, but at the moment I think I have moved forward on this one. There are many more to go, if I have the stamina.

This painting has a ‘classic’ look for me – I thought it was in oils. Interesting that you achieved this look. All the best with the ‘stamina’ 👍

Thanks Ken, I think it is the roughly applied paint in the foreground that has the appearance of the kind of texture you get with oils or acrylics.

It’s beautiful! I love how you coax the eye through and around – and far into the distance and back again. How in the world do you make those fine details in the branches Amazing! Lovely colors, peaceful and warm – full of life. 👏♥️👏

Thanks Kingkang. That cool blue are distant mountains. They didnt come out too well on the photo, but well enough for you to spot them.
