PA - Lesson #46 - Autumn Reflections in Water

[Val]

    Oh my we are a pair then! You hear no evil.... I see no evil.... but they haven't stopped us talking yet!!!            

  I'll listen for you, ( I'm only half deaf in one ear) and you can keep a look out for me!

[Happychappy]

    Val, I am screaming with laughter.  You are too much!!  Just love it.    Patricia

[Val]

I know we strayed a bit    so I'll    before 'Mr. D.' comes along with HIS bat!      Sorry Dennis.... 

[Fiona]

Patricia your painting is lovely    Well done!

And here is my version of the class - what a challenge!!  Thank you Dennis for keeping me on my toes! I thought I was going to suffer from repetitive strain injury with all those trees! 

Details

As always comments, crits and suggestions are welcome

Cheers

  This is a beautiful painting, Fi. I love the detail of the trees and the ground underneath.  Gorgeous!    I'm wondering if the orange reflection is a bit to bright, or maybe to solid. The orange trees are lighter and variegated.

[MaryAnne Long]

Fi,

Your autumn painting is lovely. 

My only concern is that the orange reflections seem brighter than the trees they reflect.  I guess KathyS and I have the same thought - just read what she wrote.

Very good painting, Fiona You had good practice painting trees

The reflections are OK. Normally light object appear slightly darker in the water and darker objects normally appear lighter. IOW, water averages out the tonal ranges.

[Happychappy]

    Oh! my word Fi, you have done a WONDERFUL job on the autumn reflections in water. I found this very challenging indeed but good practice.  You nailed it girl!

  Dennis. Good to know. I was not aware.

  Fi, ignore my comment about reflections.  I was incorrect.

[Val]

Beautiful Fi      I have never been very good with all of the 'short forms' used nowadays.... what is IOW? 

[Happychappy]

Val, I am with you there for all these short forms befuddle my brain. Having said that, I worked out what 'IOW' stands for ... which is "in other words".  I thought I was a genius for having worked that one out.

Patricia

  You ARE a genius, Patricia! I didn't know what it meant either. 

[MaryAnne Long]

I was too ashamed to ask what IOW meant!!!!

[Val]

I'm too old to be ashamed!     Wild and woolly maybe ....      but never ashamed!   

[Happychappy]

Val, I get such a kick out of your humour.  You had me screaming with laughter yesterday again where in some message you said something to the effect that your memory was good but your recall a problem. Well, that tickled me to no end.  Keep it up, I just love it.
