Painting one sitting on the grass by the car boot

This took about 3 - 4 hours. Though, in fact I was trying to slow down - and could slow down some more by the looks of it. I asked for 120 euros - but it didn't sell ;(

Comment by Jon Main on October 17, 2013 at 6:21: Laura - missed your comment - sorry. Well, I just aim to paint the main big shapes - I soon cover the canvas like that!

Comment by Jon Main on October 17, 2013 at 6:18: Anne, they have asked me to put it in an exhibition they're having - a glimmer of hope? ....

Comment by Jon Main on October 17, 2013 at 6:18: Yeah, I noticed that - I was deliberately graying down the greens (with browns/reds) - a new development for me (to be restrained?!). I saw your "Oranges" one - nice - do more plein air ones, please!

Comment by Michael Chomse on October 16, 2013 at 23:55: It looks great, Jon. It should have sold.

It has a kind of restrained feeling to it. Not ostentatious. Really nice.

I just posted the similar composition picture I told you of. "Last of the Oranges" It was the colors, curving path, and the central orange wall framed left and right by foliage that made me think of the similarity. Mine, however, is not restrained at all, especially in the saturated chroma's.
