Thank you all for your very encouraging comments, like most painters I get so frustrated when I make mistake then cannot see the good side of the painting . Your comment certainly make it worth posting as I was thinking of it hitting the bin but hate to waste my time and work. THANKS Folks .

Heather, Ross and Cameron thank you for your kind comments. I had the red a bit more subdued originally Sylvia advised thst I make it a brighter red , such a head full of knowledge thst she is always willing to share .
