Another trip to the Yorkshire Dales

[Grampy]

Another from our trips into the Yorkshire Dales, Acrylic on 24"x16" plastic board.

C & C Welcome.
Steve.

Wow, Steve, you’ve outdone yourself with this one! Beautiful lighting, beautiful colors!

 

[PaintBoss]

Are you kidding me Grampy? Its fabulous! I particularly love those hills in the background. And that beautiful block of green in the foreground. Your values are great. On my phone at first it read like a photograph. The buildings are slightly more painterly, so I could see it was not exactly a photograph. It’s a lovely, lovely combination.

 

[Artyczar]

Wow! LOVE this! The greens are fabulous. So are the little shadows. It's a great one Grampy!

 

[Grampy]

Donna T, PaintBoss, and Artyczar, thank you all for your kind comments, they are very much appreciated.

 

[Triduana]

This is a lovely one Grampy, and one of my favourite places. I love the line of trees and the dry stone walls leading up the hillside. You've captured it wonderfully. Maybe the only thing it's missing is a few sheep.

 

[Sanlynn]

Beautiful! I’m with everyone else about the greens, light and shadows. Wonderful piece of work. What is this plastic board you speak of?

 

[Grampy]

Triduana and Salynn, thank you for your kind words, I’m pleased you like it.
Sanlynn sorry the board is not plastic, it is a kind of Formex (expanded pvc foam) .
I am recycling from floor/seating plans from my daughter’s recent wedding. “Waste not want not”

 

[Dave Woody]

Excellent

 

[Grampy]

Thanks Dave, I have not been doing much painting lately but now the cold weather and dark nights are upon us I'll be doing more.

Cheers, Steve.

Steve, very interesting painting. I love variation of greens and the hills in distance. The house and its yard is interesting and all fits so well to the scene! This painting is something I like to see!

 

[Grampy]

Thanks Grapes.

Thanks John, I must say it does look idyllic, but I wonder what it would be like in 3 foot of snow and no neighbours around for miles? I think it would still look idyllic.

Grampy, this one is special! Love it!

Thanks Snoball, pleased you think it’s special. It has certainly turned out better than I expected.
