What a lovely day it has been weatherwise. The sun shone brightly through the mollicroft windows. Last night I had got to bed at a decent hour, so I was well rested.
My first thought after a morning 'cuppa' was a walk in the sunshine with Sadie the German Shepherd. After the recent cold spell it felt surprisingly mild. It was on the way back that I saw this view of the church.
Something has been cut back here because I cannot recall seeing the church from this angle before. It was the wall though that took my attention.
After our walk I collected my art stuff and hurried back to the church. On a nice day like this it was perfect for painting in the open air.
After about three hours I was happy with what I had achieved. Of course I wanted to share this painting with you. Hope you like it.

John it's great that you share your art with us. I am always nagging my son to let me share his ...he is too retiring Have a good day :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, see what you mean about the wall - now I see your picture, I mean, it really brings it out. You've transformed that scene into something really alive. Like it.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is so beautiful. How long did it take to paint?
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. I so wish I had some artistic talent. I appreciate someone like you who has a gift like this.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I'm slightly jealous that you can just go and act on your art ideas, but I think you execute them better than I would anyway.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice way to spend the day and you ended up with a lovely painting as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's good and I too love the wall. Gosh, I wish I had your talent.
ReplyDeleteI love old churches and you captured it well, love the colors. I've always wanted to visit the UK and see the countryside. Ahhhh, just a dream I guess but I can still look at your paintings.
