Are you planning to attend AIT, Deirdre?  I would love to meet you.  I have not been home since 2008 and look forward to a bit of plein air dabbling.

Thanks folks....If I could just keep them all that simple! !!!

There is a hint of Paul Henry here, but, better than Henry, is the simplicity of the composition and the muted colours.  I love this painting.

This breathtaking, Deirdre.  I love the blue reflected in the ground below the lake. Wonderful.

Thanks Tony and Norah!

Yes Norah....there is always a temptation to fiddle with the foreground. A constant struggle! What to leave out? Charles Hawthorne American painter-teacher said "A painting should be like an after dinner speech.Say one thing and stop. "..................easier said than done!!!!!

How you didnt fiddle with the foreground and thus ruin it I dont know - a really wonderful painting, love the hint of gorse (its in full bloom here in Westmeath)

Great control and strong design.
