I agree with Sue and the others, Carole, the drawing was beautiful, this is wonderful. I do like your subjects and the way you paint them. Also, thank you for commenting on my watersoluble "sketches". I appreciate.

Bought some of these a few weeks ago, now dying off. Had not had time to paint them, yours takes the place of them, beautiful!

This is very nice indeed - I don't get on to the site much at the moment so I miss quite a lot. Your flower paintings are beautiful and sunflowers I especially like. I agree, it is more interesting at this stage, the palette of greens you've used are just right - who said green was boring? Thankyou too for your comment to me on portraits.

This is unusual and beautiful Carole. Thankyou so much for commenting on my painting. The greens i use are Daler Rowney 'yellow green', winton sap green and green mixed from cobalt blue and cad yellow with some lemon yellow !

Watercolour 14 x 10" Sunflower past it's best, but more interesting to paint I think.
