A lovely painting , the vase is particularly well painted.

Beautifully painted, Diana. Love the wonderful energy and flow of the flowers and leaves, that add such vitality to the piece.

Lovely Diana and what a bargain!

Lovely water as usual, Diana.

Well done you! I’m always amazed when someone finds exactly what they are looking for in a charity shop. Smashing painting Diana. You do water and glass so very well.

Hello Paul and thank you. I did overwork the leaves Thank you Seok. I enjoyed looking at the detail in the water was fascinating. Thank you Christine. I do love exploring charity shops. Thank you Linda. I enjoy painting the water Not so sure about the flowers though😂 Thank you Tessa. I have had some amazing finds in charity shops.

A great find and a lovely well painted composition.

Magnificent glass work as ever Diana, everything just right and very realistic without too much white.

A great find in the charity shop and a great painting.

A beautiful painting, Diana - superb water and glass - and what a lucky find with the vase!

I agree with the other comments: this is super, Diana.

Thank you Pauline. I really love painting glass and water. Many thanks Chris.I appreciate your interest. Thank you Anne. I really value your kind compliment. Thank you Spencer. A good charity find gives me so much pleasure. As a child , I loved a good jumble sale or rummage sale as known in parts of the country. Thank you Anne. I’m thrilled to bits to have found exactly what I wanted. Thank you Mia. It’s lovely to hear from you.

Vase and flowers both beauties!

Wow beautiful 😍

Very well portrayed Diana. Love your vase too.

So well observed, the water and vase are brilliant.

Superb lights and darks Diana and lovely fluidity to the painting.
