Brave lady... this has worked well . Mittens and long grass work for me.

Thank you, Pat, Gudrun and Sylvia. Yes, watercolour is scary...

Another one for those judges, Amanda! They all seem to love loosely painted detail paintings (if you get my drift). This is a very good study - nice colours and free brush work. Good luck with the BBC one.

Do you think so, Thea? Unfortunately I was being economical and it has two failed self portraits on the back. Maybe I shall have another go. All good practice, anyhow.

A variation on the standard self portrait thing, this was done using a mirror (only one, and no smoke). It's a little overworked, but I'm reasonably pleased with it.
