Well done Carole, this has turned out great, so spontaneous.

Lovely painting Carole and the style is just right. An impressionistic feel

Well it's turned out right - you should keep working with acrylics which I am playing around with at the moment after a bit of a lull - I really love them especially the inks which I layer one on top the other - only trouble is I have to wait fr each layer to dry and, since I use a heck of a lot of water it can get a bit frustrating - I currently have a couple on the garage floor dryong out.

Thanks Alan, Dennis and Michael. The inks dry fairly fast as I don't use much water, sometimes neat Michael, love the intense colours.

The inks really punch out the flowers Carole! Lovely colours and full of Jodie de vivre!

Well, it SHOULD be your thing, because it sure came out really, really well, Carole! There's a lot of movement and lovely brushwork in this piece. Well done!

Thanks for your generous comments I really appreciate them as I thought it was a mess!

Yes, I agree with the others Carole - this is lovely - very loose and spontaneous. Hope to see more.

See Carole, everyone likes it including me, you'll have to use your acrylics more often if this is anything to go by.

Lively,colourful, bold and does what it says on the tin. Great painting Carole, acrylics obviously agree with you, well done.

Acrylic not my thing but used it. The under washes are acrylic inks in this loose-ish painting.
