Road to Rothbury

Road to Rothbury

Stopping for a call of nature on a car trip, I came across this springtime farm scene which appealed. The ‘comfort call’ was for a 5 year-old by the way, but hey, at my age one never missing an opportunity.

Oil on canvas.

    Excellent gentle rural painting – Rothbury has both gentle and rough.
    I really like the detail on the ponies, creating a 3-D effect.
    A fine painting, Brian.

  • Brian Towers replied

    Thanks Colin, This is a tiny hamlet called Fenrother – now where else would you find a name like that but in Geordie-land. I must admit that I nearly always strive for that 3rd dimension illusion.

  • Hidemi Tada

    Hidemi Tada

  • Brian Towers replied

    And how i wish i could match you with your great classical paintings Hidemi.

    Fantastic piece of work Brian. Your mastery of oils is astounding.

  • Brian Towers replied

    I’m still learning – at the age of 74 – and no doubt there is still a long way to go – hope I can keep up. Thank you for you kind words Steven.

    Really a fine work of art. A very beautiful and peaceful scene. Well done. ( Of course you could have included the back side of the 5 year old while he was interacting with nature.)

    Now Jim, how did you guess I cropped my picture when my wife said ‘Get that bum outta here.’ Many thanks for you comment Jim.
