Love the various shapes of those foreground flowers Andrea contrasting with the rather quaint background beach huts. Lovely.

That's beautifully done and on such a tiny scale too.

Thank you Heather, it was one of those paintings I didn’t want to stop painting too :- ) I’m currently attempting another version at a larger size - while this one is still fresh in my memory!
