That painting really caught the overall mood of the day Rob. But the sun was trying to come out occasionally (OK it tried to rain too!)and I tried to capture that effect in mine. I still think the real stars of the week-end were your two rainy street scenes - they looked even better IRL.
You've really captured that feel of light summer rain here Rob. Love the colours.
well michael,i suppose that is the good bit about changeable weather,you can choose your mood...
thanks!
had enough practise these last three (rainy) summers sheila
cheers!
That is a familiar look! you've captured it so well!Yes, it's true- the weather is certainly changeable there in Ireland (at least Cty. Kerry, where I've been)...You end up painting in all kinds of weather! Beautiful!
Great atmosphere in this painting and I like that there are small spots of intense green and purple to draw me in. Beautiful!
Love the Irish paintings and am looking forward to sneaking over there for next year's event.
thanks roxanne
i don't mind painting the rain,it gives great atmosphere!
hi kim
it always surprises me how rich the colors are on a dull day
thanks
that'll be great mick
first tip...bring rain gear
i'm going back too!
They're both nice paintings. I like the stronger values in yours and the way the track disappears round the corner.
Beautiful Rob. You are so awesome at landscapes!
thanks keith
i like both versions beacause...they are differnt
to be honest i wanted to paint michaels view but he got there first and there was no space for the two easels
ta liz,preciated
still got a lot to learn though
You make rain look sensational Rob! I wrote June off over here b/c it was so rainy!

This one is so beautiful, what a lovely color palette!
So wet! Love the puddle in the foreground. Beautiful colours.
This painting really captures the beauty of rain. Grey days can be the best painting days, all that gorgeous neutral color with a few zings. Don't you think?
I agree Rob, colors do appear more intense in overcast weather conditions. You captured the 'rainy' atmosphere brilliantly. I'm lovin' it!
Feels like a summer day that may turn sunny - lovely, Rob!
ta jack...i think
