Full of energy and movement Shirley......great make over.

Thank you Dennis and Fiona. I had made some wax resist marks for highlights, which I didn't like. So I thought gouache might be a good way of knocking them down. And it did, so that was useful to know.

This is terrific, Shirley, full of the outdoors -well captured.

Thank you, Willie. I think it needed a bit of input.

And it worked well Shirley. White gouache usually does the trick when reworking paintings and it certainly has here :)
