here another painting done during my stay in Ireland Michael and i had to go out no matter the weather. and it shows you don't need a nice day to make a nice painting... Michael did a lovely brighter version here
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.
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!
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
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?

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

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!

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!
