" Mount Cook" watercolour

Has an Alpine feel to it. Good feeling of distance.

Super Mike...I'm looking at a small painting full of wide open space. Excellent work.

Very nice, Mike, with some wonderful space and scenery. I also enjoyed the intro'. Thanks for that. Brian

What a great painting Mike, it's lovely to see some of your scenery.

This has a deceptive simple elegance to it.

Nice one - like your mountains.

Very good indeed Mike. Lovely sense of space.

my thanks for the kind comments. The back portion has a very pale blue lavender weak gouache glaze over the dry water colour in order to unify and present that haze effect with the stronger fore front painted afterwards. First time of trying a gouache glaze on a watercolour and am reasonably pleased with the effect obtained. I have used watercolour glazes from time to time but was concerned ojust how much obliteration might happen using opaque colour. Got the effect I wanted.

As Lewis rightly says, a wonderful small painting of a huge amount of space very well painted!
