Detail - Door Knocker 2

This is just gorgeous! I love the colors! Thank you very much for your comments on my painting.

Absolutely beautiful! You can really feel the grain of the wood. Amazing how you can make a door knocker seem so alive and interesting.

Your control over watercolour is enviable and if you had trouble with the paper it certainly doesn't show. A lovely addition to your gallery. Many thanks for your tips on my recent posting, very much appreciated.

wow agree this is beautiful, love the texture of the wood your gallery is amazing

Could this be any better? It's absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful colours!

Thanks for these lovely comments; makes me feel I didn't battle on for nothing!

I knew without even seeing your name! I think your best yet. That wood is absolutely amazing. The grain is really three dimensional.

I like this a lot! The different textures/finishes are beautifully expressed. Well done

This is really lovely.

Better and better! Marvellous work

Do you know Dickens' A Christmas Carol? The door-knocker featured prominently in that, turning to an apparition of Jacob Marley. Go on, have a go! You've captured the graining of the wood and the weight of the knocker perfectly.

Great work again Avril. This is very realistic.

A great start to the day reading your lovely comments. A big thanks to Robert, our 'man of learning' whose erudition has no limits! Yes, I read A Christmas Carol at school - I wonder who's knocked on this door.

Hello Avril, thank you for commenting on my work. Just wanted to let you know that I gave a short description on on the Iris page about how my negative painting was done and I hope it helps. I'm not very good at explaining it because I find it very difficult, but if there is anything specifically you'd like to know, I'd be happy to try to clarify and help.

This is a super picture, Avril, and your gallery is wonderful.
