This is my most recent woodland painting of the pinewoods near Parkmill and Illston, on the Gower Peninsula.
I am taking a pause for now as we preparing to go away to Donegal, Ireland, soon. We feel in great need of a holiday.

Have a wonderful and relaxing time. Looking forward to seeing your work from Ireland.
Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing and painting the Donegal coast, it’s very beautiful!
A beautiful painting! Have a great and creative time on the Donegal coast.
Relax and enjoy!
So beautiful. I love the lilacs and purples, and I love the whole composition.
Happy Travels!
I’d swear your Canadian Emma! Your work reminds of “The Group Of Seven”.Tom Thompson to be exact.
Did they influence your style?
Hi Wayne, I love the work of the Group of Severn, Tom Thompson as well Americans such as Rockwell Kent and Edward Hopper. I swear I was born on the wrong side of the Atlantic (and in the wrong century)!
Love the painting! Have fun, Emma. You fully deserve some time off!
Thanks Gabriela.
I hope you have a wonderful trip. You certainly do work hard! This painting is wonderful. I would love to walk through these woods.
Thank you, Melissa
