Very very effective. Bright and contrasty with great colours.

Love it, Diana. Very clever.

Such good colour and shiny glass effects Diana :)

Fabulous colours and contrast Diana.

Very eye catching, Diana.

Lovely work Diana. A classy result.

Thank you Stephen. I can’t get a photo to show the true colours but it is quite dark. Thank you again Margaret. Hello Shirley and thank you. I need to sort one or two areas which I can see now it’s on here. Thank you Louise. It’s a good job the paper I used can take a battering. Thank you Alan. I hoped I could do this with less scrubbing and braver application of washes. I’m ok with my darks but the mid tones tend to be too weak and need several goes!! Thank you Dawn and Jim. These large paintings do get through some paint!!

Beautifully painted, so clever, Diana!

Absolutely marvellous Diana, you are such a talented lady.

Fantastic result Diana! The transparency is extraordinary and so beautiful!!

Thank you so much Jennifer and Fiona. You certainly boost my confidence! Thank you Maureen The colours aren’t quite accurate in the photo but it’s so dark at the moment and I like to photograph my work in daylight. Thank you Satu, I do love my burnt sienna and indigo so this seems extremely colourful!

Amazing effects to achieve Diana.love the skill and energy your art portrays.

This must have been a labour of love, how you managed to do this is quite astonishing, brilliant work 😀

Such beautiful transparency Diana, gorgeous colours.

Love this, Diana. Quite magickal and indefinable, the more you look the more you see. Brilliant, that girl!

Hello Carole and thank you. After several years of watercolour work, I have got to a stage where I can save pieces from the bin .... in some cases😄 Thank you Linda. I certainly had a few moments and it came close to the bin. Things improved when I abandoned the reference photo. Thank you Thalia. I had a review of it today and filled a few gaps, added some highlights and dealt with the bottom left shadow. Happier now Thank you Margaret. I really appreciate your kind comment

I love it! It beautiful

Full imperial sheet watercolour with a cropped version of the last one. This has been a few days of love/ hate as I’ve played about with it
