Green and Pleasant Land with River (Acrylic 13)

davidF 19 Apr 2021

My sister has just bought a flat looking over the River Thames and I have a river out the back of my house. I went for a walk and as its spring it looked very pretty. I havent really tried painting a river so had a go.. here it is. I like the greens.

Love all the green shades.

Thanks Umagaan.... I guess its "Englands green and pleasant land" :)

Wow, lovely painting. I especially love the river & reflections of clouds and all. Beautiful!!

Great variety of greens! Beautiful sky and water! Trees and grass look awesome. Fantastic job David!

Thanks dellajoy .. i am pleased you like it .. I am going to work on the river a bit more .. but I am pleased it sort of looks like a river .. I found it harder with acrylics than using the Bob rods oils .. happy painting

Thank you pietrol963 I am pleased you like it

As always sunny lady .. thank you for your kind comments.. still not home .. might try something similar in oils when I eventually get back as I think it will be much more vibrant in oils .. happy painting

@David - you have a great eye and your work on values is always good. I am happy you keep painting while away from your home, this helps to avoid getting rusted and even lets to learn new things. Keep moving forward, you are on a very nice track.

Thank you sunnylady.. actually don't know when I will get home at the moment, been nearly a year now. Might buy some oil paints from amazon while I am here. Would like to try them again as its difficult to get acrylics to blend as well... Happy painting .. love your work as always
