    A beautiful oil painting. How long does it take you to create one of these?

  • Brian Towers

    Thanks for your kind words. I am a bit impatient so tend to spend an average of 6 to10 hours on my efforts. A lot depends on how well they are going.

    Brian, this is a lovley image its somthing that captures that peace that we get being out in the country side, you just could not do with photography it would not work.
    Rich.

  • Brian Towers replied

    Thanks Rich, just what I like to hear. The old brush still has it’s place in these days of high-tech images. That’s balanced by the great images you produce with a camera and a lot of skill, most of which would be hard to achieve with paint.

    Fabulous, Brian! I just found you through Tom Godfrey’s images (you had a joke about an air bladder hahahaha)...so thought I’d check you out. Love this painting!!

  • Brian Towers replied

    I knew humour would get me somewhere eventually – usually in the doghouse – but now ‘found’ by a lovely kind lady. Many thanks for all you kind words about my ‘daubs’. I have now found you and have briefly seen your excellent paintings. Will now go and enjoy a long look. Regards, Brian.

  • rightasrain

    Why thank you Brian! :) :)

  • BLYTHART

    BLYTHART

    Regarding your comment, I can’t think of your paintings as daubs Brian … try painting like De Kooning and I may change my mind though :)

  • Van Cordle

    Van Cordle

    For a second I thought I was looking at a photograph. Amazing detail Brian.

  • BillCowe

    BillCowe

    Wonderful sense of tranquility. You have captured the moment of awareness, all round. “Tight Lines” before and after, I hope!

  • Walter Colvin

    Walter Colvin

    Very well done Brian, There is a group called ‘Hunting and Fishing the Great Outdoors’ That would like to have this image in their Collection of images. Check it out.

  • Brian Towers replied

    So many groups now I hadn’t heard of that one Walter. I’ll take a look thanks.

  • Woodie

    Woodie

    I haven’t seen this before Brian.
    Did you put it on before I joined RB?
    Very tranquil and “Green Welly”
    Cheers neil

  • Brian Towers replied

    Ta Neil. I first put this up about a year ago, but it has managed to find it’s way into a few groups for a renaissance. Never thought of it being a Green welly genre. Good ‘un!

  • Ann Rodriquez

    Ann Rodriquez

    This is AWESOME! Beautifully done, and what a perfect, thought-provoking description that fits the scene and feeling just right. Great job! Welcome to the Hunting and Fishing the Great Outdoors group!

  • Brian Towers replied

    What a kind and eloquent comment Ann. And thanks too for the welcome to Hunting and fishing group – just joined yesterday and found it full of impressive images. I’ll have to ‘fish’ out at least one more painting which I think might be acceptable.

  • Ann Rodriquez

    Ann Rodriquez

    LOL – sounds great, Brian. Thanks for the nice words, too, and we are truly honored to have you in our group. I’ve been excited to see all the talent that’s found us!

  • Brian Towers replied

    Thanks Ann, your kind comments are greatly valued. My fishing days were well enjoyed but now long gone. However, the group members and their pictures bring it all back. One I won’t let get away.

  • Nolan Reynerson

    Nolan Reynerson

    Great detail! This is a wonderful piece.

  • Brian Towers replied

    Thanks Nolan. I’ve got to say that in those days the trout were rarely big- the river not having beed stocked during the war, but even tiddlers were a good catch for kids.

    Nearlyy missed this one…...Oh Wow – now this is what I want to paint like – if only!!!! this is an amazing painting Brian, picture perfect just like a photo and instils a feeling of peace and tranquility. If only I could be a fly on your wall and watch you paint, but then you might swat me!

  • Brian Towers replied

    Well, I’ve been practising for about 70 years – started late when I was 5 – and still have a lot to learn. But then how dull it would be otherwise. You’ve got a special skill and a unique style Linda and a hobby and interest to be enjoyed for the rest of you life. Thank you for your kind comments.

  • Linda Callaghan

    Linda Callaghan

    70 yrs I will definitely not make I am afraid as I turned 50 this year! and started last year…wish I had begun earlier. Thank you for your encouragement Brian it is very kind of you and I agree I am happy to have a hobby I thoroughly enjoy. I look forward to learning and growing my skills by getting inspiration from amazing artists like yourself :-)

    Awww man, this is absolutely gorgeous.

    Great work Brian.

  • Brian Towers replied

    I’d like to say this in somewhere in the North East but that would be a porkie. But I did imagine it to be on the river Till. Many thanks David.

  • LindaMcCarthy

    WOW. Your skill with oils is amazing. I have dabbled with seascapes, landscapes etc but this is really something else. Well done, beautiful painting i can just imagine myself being there pulling trout out of the river. Amazing work.

  • Brian Towers replied

    You say in your profile that you are an ‘aspiring artist’. From what I see of your work Dave you’re miles beyond that and are up there with the top runners. Many thanks for you kind comments.

    Great piece Brian. Your shades of green are very eye catching. Overall composition and perspective is amazing. Congrats on such a fine painting!

  • Brian Towers replied

    Thanks Bob, that’s very kind of you. Got to admit this is one of the few paintings I like too much to sell.

    I’ve taken a quick look through your work and must go back for a longer viewing – I’m impressed with your style.

    Congratulations on a well deserved feature Brian. I just love the perspective in this one. Those beautiful river stones in the foreground, your treatment of the water, the placement of the figure and the deer all make for a perfect and delightful painting. You are a phenomenal artist with great skill.

  • Brian Towers replied

    What a nice consolation on coming home from my hol’s to find your kind comment Lynda. I’ve so much to catch up on I might not make it, but my thanks to you was priority.
