Hi there Rob!... Love the muted and subdued greys and atmosheric very Lowland quality of this piece.
The well executed active skating figures add ... just the right dash of verve and colour to balance the quietness of the overall mood! Very festive! Very Fun!
I'm really digging how you painted the bare branches on the trees. You didn't paint every branch but laid down just enough brush strokes to indicate them and still kept their transparent feeling. Very nice. The spots of color you added for the crowds is wonderful too. You are on a roll Rob, one successful painting after another.

Nice! Would have liked to join them!
this is wonderful Rob: the energy of the skating seems to swirl around the painting!
This is very nice and full of atmosphere. There is a real feeling of a park surrounded by a town, even though there is only a suggestion of buildings.
Très joli paysage. Excellente idée d'avoir peint les oiseaux dans le côté gauche, ce qui assure un excellent équilibre au tableau!
With those colors, I thought for a moment this was René's blog :P

Good Painting!

Love the play of verticals and horizontals and the way your dark neutrals make the colors pop.

hi bruce
muted gryes are not really my thing
so those colorfull skaters were essential
cheers mate
shirley
that was indeed the idea
thank you
kim painting the braches that way takes the hard work out of it and i think it looks more natural as well!
thanks!
