Great watercolour Diana your tonal range and use of darks is fantastic and it will make a brilliant Christmas card.

Fabulous work Diana.

Thank you Sylvia and Barry. I think I could have been a lot bolder with the colour but I'm always too hesitant . Thank you Carole and Marjorie. The winning is getting back into my painting after the break.. I was seeing things that I would love to paint all the time I was busy and away from home. Thanks Sylvia , I hate to even think about Christmas before December but enjoyed painting these beauties. Thank you Dennis and Margaret ...lovely to hear from you Diana

Thanks for those great comments Peter and Louise . Alan, thanks for your kind words and Linda, I agree entirely about anything Christmas before December. Its for the Christmas card competition and Ive actually put it out of sight in my portfolio! Diana

Many thanks Sharon , Andre and John. I actually am very ant Christmas until December. I agree that it's far too early but entered the PO competition and wanted the painting in my personal gallery. To me , it's a study of beautiful glass foremost. Thanks again. Diana

Thank you Jenny and Val . I am very pleased to read your lovely feedback. Jennifer, thank you and good luck for the operations. I'm sure it will all be worth it. By the way, your donkeys are so lovely. I love donkeys Your right Gudrun, its hideously early. I hate anything Christmas before December. I wanted the competition entry in my gallery but promise there will be nothing more of that topic!! Thank you Helen. I like the nostalgic feel idea Diana
