And what an interesting effect you've got, John. I do like those colours together, especially the pink

Glad you like it Marjorie, the colour is 'caput mortuum' I really love it but don't often use it...

Super combination of materials and colours

Interesting how you did this. I like the effects very much.

Hi Denise and Heather, many thanks for your lovely comments :)

This is really interesting, John. I like the effect you’ve got by using paints differently. I love that moody sky, a lot to see.

Thank you Ellen, it doesn't quite behave like watercolour but it gives some fun effects :)

Wonderful style really like it John.

A very interesting artistic concept.

Very effective and interesting application of paint John.....like it very much.

Hi Fiona, that's very kind of you, I'm delighted with your reaction :)

The trip by boat, out to sea and into the natural beauty of Lysefjord is a privilege to see. i made a small collection of paintings in various mediums to try to translate this. In this painting I have used very thin oil paint like watercolour, some thicker impasto strokes, dry pigment and metal fragments.
