This has got to be about my favourite of all your work Colin.
Colin Cartwright replied

Thanks, Brian. A more feminine image – Inspired by Maud Naftel, master painting at Shipley Art gallery. To balance my masculine ships!

Such a magical place and painting, Colin. This one is very special.
Colin Cartwright replied

Yes, Maud Naftel is not known, but as you study it, you see more in it. Thanks, Bev.

Oh Colin! My goodness. This is gorgeous. Is there a person to the right bending over picking flowers or is that just me?

Congratulations! This work has been featured in the Landscape Painting group.
Colin Cartwright replied

Thanks a lot, Lynda. Means a lot as this is my first floral painting. For down under, read as ‘midwinter’ but without the snow…as you don’t get any.

Beautiful country side!
andrea verstegen

Lovely watercolor Colin. Depicting an idyllic existence that is becoming rare in this day and age. Atleast we can escape there in art.
Colin Cartwright replied

Thanks, Andrea.

Yes indeed! Art creation, is a wonderful way we can escape our pain.

Not as accurate as a photograph Colin, but you can’t get the feel and smell of summer from a photo as you can from this. A meadow you want to lie in and look up at that sky!!!
Bless you mate!
Colin Cartwright replied

A photo takes little effort, skill and soul, Bill. The real challenge is in painting. Ask those who have done both!

And real life wins over a painting – Just like in a meadow, on a (rare) summer’s day – and that is the real life, albeit transient!

I hope your God is looking after you, my friend.

I keep looking to see if you are going to do any more like this … one of my favourites Colin.
Colin Cartwright replied

Thanks, Dave. I’ve been away for a couple of weeks.
I started a painting, a view from the Paris apartment, directly outside, of a tree and the balcony. Hope to finish it soon.

Delightful work! I feel like I’m there (which is rather nice given that we have constant winter rain and flooding at the moment).
