My Lockdown Haven, My Conservatory.

Lovely Carole, I admire your use of dark tones, something I struggle with in watercolour, you’ve inspired me to try tomorrow!

As you say, this is a great place to sit and read. Beautifully painted.

A truly lovely space and painting Carole. I also love your achievement of the darker tones in your watercolour.

A stunner Carole

Super painting Carole, bold colours that would scare me, but you always pull it off, and it gels together nicely.

Lovely cheerful painting, Carole, I especially like that white jug against the dark background, makes the colours sing even more!

Many thanks to everyone for your lovely comments. I really admire you watercolorists who achieve loose, spontaneous work, a brave step too far for me. I would love to get over the fear of going wild on paper and hope it happens one day. Hope you are all well and managing to keep motivated as it can be very daunting at times. We are lucky to have such a therapeutic hobby but even so, for those of us who are shielded, the outside world is temptingly evocative. Let’s hope it doesn’t last much longer.

12” x 18” watercolour. Another attempt on a larger scale, including more space than in the first effort. I love sitting reading here. It’s so tranquil.
