Paul, thank you. Your comments are very helpful.

Paul, actually the painting is not in the garage: it's all those bits of ironware that reminds me that I should be sorting out the garage! My garage is far too damp to put any paintings in so studio gets cluttered!

Excellent painting done with great detail 👍

It's a wonderful watercolour, looks more like an oil. Yes, definitely go for printing of some kind

Sorry Alix I misread your original comment,I should get new specs or learn to read better or even both.

Great, Alix. I think you should go for prints, of course.

It's fabulous Alix and well worth printing.

It’s a very accurate and beautifully painted Omani doorway. I would definitely go for prints!

Posted by Spencer Lambeth-Angell on Wed 11 Jan 16:56:30

The question is more - have you got an outlet for the prints? Very skillful painting by the way.

Beautiful warm tones and great clarity. It’s a cracker

Great piece Alix

Well, what wonderful people you are! Thank you so much for your comments Stephen, Heather, Dixie, Anne, Coral, Chris, Spencer, Marjorie, Martin and Russell. Re outlet, yes, possibly but not easy. Will have a ponder!

This is brilliant! Definitely get prints of it.

A superbly detailed painting. Great composition

Posted by Christine Rogan on Thu 12 Jan 13:23:02

Thank you so much, Christine. I really can't imagine why I ever thought I could attempt it. Must have been much fuller of vigour back then!

A wonderful composition with a great expression of textures. I never would have guessed it was a watercolour. Superb.

Souk shop door still life, Oman. Watercolour. A painting done way back in 2001! It shows a fascinating mixture of odds and ends, all practical stuff. As winter tends to turn thoughts towards sorting out the garage, I thought I'd rather post this! Should I make prints? What do you think?
