Really like this Carole. Love the tap and the old, earthy colours complimented by the blue/green colour around the tap.

Something special and different about this Carole, and the sentiment about water, so important to life and especially now.

Lovely stylization, dear Carole, and more powerful than at other times with climate change forcing up temperatures and wildfires everywhere. Have a beautiful day my friend. Love and God bless xxx

This is absolutely beautiful Carole. Love the way you’ve portrayed the droplets and the ageing stonework where the tap is attached.

Couldn’t resist painting this very old tap. Taken from one of my travel photos but not sure where it was. Painting water is a challenge though. Oil pastels on black media paper 12” x 16”.
