Being inspired by the weekend workshop, this was an early morning painting in a allotment. I've not been to an allotment before and it was quite lovely, especially at this time of the year. It was huge with over 100 plots based in Compton, Surrey. Sadly it was locked when I got there, not realising this was the case but thankfully one person came and opened up.
It was peaceful standing painting with the sunshine on my back and the birds tweeting! Being caught up in the moment I didn't realise the guy had left and locked me in, oops! But again I was lucky as I finished someone else came and I was free :-)
I'm happy with the painting, quite a complex setting, the shadow shapes on the shed attracted me and the bright sunshine lighting the pots.
I like the loose almost pointillistic way you have painted the background. Subtle colours and you have conveyed the way the gentle early morning light fell on the subject. I am taking mental notes!

ReplyDeleteInteresting subject matter. The trees, sky and the suggestion of objects each side of the hut, encompasses the main focus admirably.
