The Dog has a wonderfully pensive attitude suiting the sereneness of your composition. Outstanding! Also like how the lake edges the house which somehow seems plausible as in a dream. From sketcher to painter!

Mr. Ploos! What a fantastic work.

I have been loving the progression because it shows your thinking. You're rising to it, mate. I'm watching where you set it down, how you're giving consideration to the composition, then populating it with details. And I really like how active you've made the sky. Has some action and drama to it like it's a player in the story.

You're maintaining a light overall tone to it which keeps it from getting too heavy. Heavy can be good too. But this one is playing up more joyful.

It's interesting seeing the sequence because it's as if I were inside your image and you were walking me through your private world here and pointing out this and that -- sort of as if you're painting directly into my mind. And you say something like check out that building -- notice how the shrubbery works its way up the side. And there's a hay wain, and blimey, notice who's there in it. . . wonder if they're stuck. . .

This is really coming along. I feel like we're all loaded up on the haywain ride. FIELD TRIP inside EIGHTY +'s imagination!

GO MAN GO!!!!!!!!

One thought about picking colors and values, the way you're doing it is fine, but it's easy to do when you also import a picture (Constable pic for example) and use it as a palette fully laid out already. So all you need to do is dip into that picture and you have a loaded brush with that color. Sort of a nice feature to the program.

Mac thanks for comments and info, but got up late 3.30 in the afternoon

So didn't do much to late then had a go at the wheel's

Yep those bloody wheel's. So decided to give it a rest

And hope somebody sorts them out while I'm asleep. Yeah
