Stunning is too litle word for this watercolour, Diana, this shows all your skill, if it was needed. Great work Diana.

Thank you Cesare This came within a gnats whisker of the bin! I managed to pull it back from the brink. Jim and Mia, Thank you for your feedback. As usual, it isn't how I saw it in my mind but I loved the view from underneath

Great-so different, Diana

What a great eye you have for the unusual Diana, the light and shade tones are fantastic. Love the bit of warm yellow the lights, very clever work.

Some of the best ones are the ones that are saved from the brink Diana as this shows

Fantastic Diana, you find the most unusual and interesting things to paint and do a brilliant job of them.

So wonderful Diana, so skillful, your talent is marvellous!

Thank you Maureen and Carole. I probably choose these subjects to avoid figures and landscapes which I find very difficult. Thank you Gudrun and Dennis. Quite a few have been in this category lately. THanks for being so loyal with your comments Val and Margaret. I appreciate them all.

Great painting love how you hinted the drops of the chandelier. Beautifully executed Diana.

Yet another smashing piece Diana....always different :)

Another unusual subject so well done, Diana. (Even half imperial sounds a lot of paper to cover! - do you work with the paper flat on a table?)

Posted by Jenny Harris on Mon 22 May 12:47:02

Thank you for taking time to comment Sylvia. I love to hear from you. Hello Jenny and thanks again. I like to work flattish where possible As the paper gets larger, I sit at a table with the board propped on my knee. That's quite a sight with full imperial!! Sometimes I put the full size on my easel and lower it so Ican sit I also stand at the easel with one hand on the board to support myself.

Half imperial watercolour. I struggled so much with the bottom half , and couldn't lift the shapes adequately because I used staining paint. I saw this Chandelier in a local cafe and loved the view from underneath
