Colin Cartwright replied
Thanks, Alice.
Yes it’s not really my sort of thing – a bit twee – but a great learning experience, as part of the ‘Copying the Masters’ course, at my local art gallery in Gateshead.

What wonderful work and artistic vision that flows through you. You don’t enter each piece lightly but with gusto, energy….....and magic. You are quite the talented artist.

I enjoy your classic watercolor technique and also your subjects. This one in particular appeals to me.

This is a nice picture. Only teasing … I’ll not finish there :) Seriously, there is something soothing about the image of chickens being fed on a country farm. When I stayed on my great uncle’s farm once, he and his wife woke me at half five every morning to help feed the animals. My reward was to return to a massive bacon and egg breakfast and a pint mug of steaming hot tea … maybe that’s what this farm woman is looking forward to as she feeds those chicks :)
Colin Cartwright
Five thirty! Ah, the good brekky would be compensate.
This is my second favourite (after Ramsgate Harbour) of my Masters at the Shipley series.
Thanks for the fine comment, Dave.
