And you are so good at depicting them, too!! It is always lovely to come on the gallery and be greeted by one of your super paintings. I know that I would come hopelessly unstuck if I tried to home in on a detail like you do, which makes me admire your skills even more. I just love the combination of the blue (cerlulean?) and the burnt sienna of the rust - a delicious mix of colours.

Thank you Carole, Ros and Thea. I had fun doing the metal here as there's loads of spattering ! Colours are mixes of manganese blue (transparent) and Delft blue; burnt sienna and brown madder.

This is lovely study Avril - you have achieved wonderful textures and I particularly like the rusty metal - altogether a very effective and attractive painting.

The combination of old wood and metal is what you do best, Avril! This is a real gem - gorgeous textures and colors. In answer to your question about Fabio's workshop, I'm the one in the purple checked trousers in the group painting!
