Thank you all so much for you kind remarks they are appreciated and very encouraging. I did this in about twenty minutes as a way of getting ride of some frustration, I had been working on a landscape that would not come together. Put the landscape to one side for another day and thoroughly enjoyed painting this , I am really overwhelmed with the response .
