Magic Night Garden.

[Ern007]

I am posting an extra one this week as I would like opinions on this painting.

It is in part abstract and I realise this will not be every ones cup of tea.

Anyone who finds this to much, no worries I am curious what people think.

[HungryHufflepuff]

personally I like it very much. It looks like a scene in the countryside that’s been lit up by torchlight, and the night sky above.

[Ern007 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thank you HungryHufflepuff - I did try and make it mysterious, it abstract but not full blown. I was experimenting with borders, with the right painting it can look good. It does look a bit like torchlight, I can see that .

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Ern007]

Did you paint the border on? I thought it was a frame. It looks really good.

It also looks like the grass and trees are moving in the wind. I really like this painting.

[Ern007 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

I put good art tape on all four sides of canvas - and that kept the sides clear while I painted in the black. Thank you for you comment .

[sassy59]

l like it very much Ern as it’s still colourful. You do really well xxx❤️

[Ern007 in reply to sassy59]

Thank you Carole - I used to paint like this to some extent, I wanted to try the tape for keeping the edges white. The Pink is Magenta , Vermillion green, Permanent yellow. The main colours. Xxx

[madonbrew]

It's brilliant! 🌺

[Ern007 in reply to madonbrew]

Thankyou madonrew,

[Ellieoak]

it looks really. I like the way you are kind of looking up while seeing the flowers and trees to the night sky.

[Ern007 in reply to Ellieoak]

Thank you Ellieoak - good reply.

[rosco59]

I really like it.

[Ern007 in reply to rosco59]

Thankyou rosco59

[slram]

I like it.

[Ern007 in reply to slram]

Thank you Sharon.

[Threecats]

I like this one a lot, Ern. The trees look like they’ve been lit from below to me and the way you’ve painted them, in contrast to the flowers and grass in the foreground, gives them an interesting sense of movement. A good idea with the border, too.

[Ern007 in reply to Threecats]

Thank you Threecats - I think the borders were needed.

[Morrison10]

Its a nice picture, your skill continues to impress and entertain thanks. Jean x

[Ern007 in reply to Morrison10]

Thank you Jean -appreciated. x

[sunshineday]

It looks quite dramatic Ern with the trees and flowers against the dark sky. It draws you into the scene. I really like it. Thank you for sharing it. Joy x

[Ern007 in reply to sunshineday]

Thank you sunshineday and you are welcome. I like to share. Joy x

[B0xermad]

I can see the leaves blowing in the wind

[Ern007 in reply to B0xermad]

Thank you B)xermade - Nice commemt and sure this is second

[Mellywelly]

I like it 👌 the way you have done the stars makes it look like trees far away. Nice one 😉

[Ern007 in reply to Mellywelly]

Thank you Mellywelly

[GintyFerguson]

It has a magical quality about it ! I like it, very different .

[Ern007 in reply to GintyFerguson]

Thank you very much GintyFerguson

[CDPO16]

I like it Ern but would like to see one or two not on a black background if appropriate.

[Ern007 in reply to CDPO16]

Thank you Carole, I am sure I can manage a none black , challenge x

[CDPO16 in reply to Ern007]

Looking back I realised you have posted some already. My head's like a seive Ern. All your paintings show your imagination and talent. Thank you for sharing them xx

[Ern007 in reply to CDPO16]

No worries Carole. my memory is poor. I will be posting both types, as that's how to keep ideas fresh xx

[helenlw7]

I love it and would be happy to have it on a wall in my house. The more I look at it the more I see. The black sky and stars gives it an air of mystery.

[Ern007 in reply to helenlw7]

Thank you helenlw7 I was hoping for mystery, the main element.

[Dottie11]

A rare sight. Night sky with no lights to interfere. It is always good to paint a selection of thoughts.xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

Thank you Dottie11 - good post.

[JJ_7]

Nice painting Ern :)Nightscapes are difficult to paint. You have done well . Hope you are feeling well xxx

[Ern007 in reply to JJ_7]

Thank you JJ-7 - i do like dark at times, I am getting there

[Nula2]

Hi Ern, I think it's great 😊👍and wish I looked out of my window at that lovely night scene rather than the street lights and a busy road😅. It must take great skill to depict the individual petals on the flowers like you have. xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Nula2]

Thank you Nula2 - I did the painting not knowing what would come, when the green had been created - I took care not to overdo the flowers, or I think the mood would have gone, so not that many flowers to paint. xxx

[Handel]

Beautiful Ern. This scene reminds me of the children's TV programme my grandkids used to love called "In the Night Garden". A perfect and relaxing painting. You're so talented Ern. Love and hugs. Jan xxxx

[Ern007 in reply to Handel]

I kinda remember "In the Night Garden" better tv for kiddies in those days. Thank you Jan for the kind remarns, and virtual hugs going your way.xx

[Handel in reply to Ern007]

Your virtual hugs have landed Ern. 😊💕 xx

[Nicholatracy]

I like it 🐞

[Ern007 in reply to Nicholatracy]

Thank you Nicholatracy....

[Germantara]

Ern you never dissapoint me I think it's great when I saw it it reminds me off a fantasy film I watched quite a while back I love it FANTASTIC

[Ern007 in reply to Germantara]

Thank you Germantara .Interesting, as it was hard deciding. fantasy or abstract. I like fantasy paintings.

[Alberta56]

I like it very much. Please keep on producing abstracts, if this is what it is. I like starry nights- it looks tranquil, but waiting for something interesting to happen. xxxx

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

Thank you. Very close between mild abstract or fantasy art which I like to do. Yes i will produce these types also . xxx

[Alberta56 in reply to Ern007]

I think it's my favourite of all your paintings so far. (Only think- we Pisces are notorious for indecisiveness.) xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

Well I am a Leo. enough said lol

[winabago]

I like your painting.

[Ern007 in reply to winabago]

Thank you winabago

[Thepainterswife]

I love it , it is mysterious and atmospheric but not creepy , the colours are beautiful 😍 x

[Ern007]

Thank you. I have done a fair bit of fantast art on here,Itry not to be creepy. that can make it dark and spoil the effects. x

[50shadesofgrey]

I love this one ern I like the different brush strokes and yet the flowers seem solid xx

[Ern007 in reply to 50shadesofgrey]

Thank you 50shadesofgrey - I inch and 1/2 fan brush to get the wispy effect - The same brush upwards on it side to create the greenery. The plants painted with a detail brush, needed a lot of layers with the dark colours so dominant.. xx

[Patk1]

I luv this Ern and like the white border against the night sky.the whole thing captures me,wondering what goes on when we aren't there - do some of the little flowers in the distance have eyes..or is my imagination playing tricks x

[Ern007 in reply to Patk1]

Thank's Pat - What caused that effect there was not many flowers, some at the back and not in focus. It really is an illusion that causes some to see eyes. It happens in this type of paining Pat x

[Patk1 in reply to Ern007]

Thanks for that.ive reserved judgement til I've had my specs on,as I thought I was imagining them.but equally could be the light frm the stars.its very good x

[Cobalt2sister]

I like it. To.me it's a wonderful mix: mysterious, peaceful, alluring,lovely...keep creating!

[Ern007 in reply to Cobalt2sister]

Thank you. I sure will .

[Welshcatlady]

I love it, thanks for sharing it Ern. x

[Ern007 in reply to Welshcatlady]

Thank you Welshcatlady, you are more than wlcome x

[Mavary]

it’s great to see your pictures.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

Thank you Mavary ,,

[Patk1]

I'm just looking again in middle of the night..it's pouring down here.I love this painting, Ern.youve definitely captured the magic of the night garden ❤️

[Ern007 in reply to Patk1]

Thank you Pat. I do like painting on a black canvas as it makes colours pop - On this one I did not do that or it would have altered the mood. . xx
