Really superb Fiona it's a bit like drinking dry spells are vital away from it all lovely to see your brilliant work again and what a cracker is that an ice breaker by the way;-)

Happy to see you back on form as this is great. I was hoping you were just having a rest. Sometimes it is necessary.

Thank you Dennis, it's easy to lose the touch left alone for too long.....ice breaker in more ways than one! Many thanks Gudrun, I've missed you all and the gallery....hope I haven't missed any challenges.....I think that's what I need.

I like how you solved the reflection in the water. Colours are beautiful too. Well done Fiona!

I've been wondering where you are Fiona and it's lovely to see you here again. Lovely little painting too!

Good to see you back Fiona. I love pen and watercolour - the composition and colours in this are lovely, I especially like the vibrant blue/orange combination.

Yes it has , too long and I am glad your back and its a lovely piece of work , well done , great stuff

I know what you mean about being a dry old ship. I'm that way too atm. I love that choppy water in the foreground Fiona.

Glad to see you're OK Fiona. I was quite concerned for you. A super comeback!

Ibolya, Satu, Jenny, Dennis, Sarah......thank you very much for your lovely comments and welcome, they are very much appreciated. It isn't one of my best but it's a start. Thank again.

Great to see you back Fiona and this looks super, great reflections in the water.

Welcome back, Fiona, with this beautiful painting. Great reflections.

Nice to see an FP back 'on board' again and with a super painting as well

Pete, Margaret, Cesare, Willie....you are very kind, thank you. I am hoping I can get back into producing something.....anything really! Lol x

Glad to see you back Fiona, and nice work.

Nice one Fiona in one of my favourite mediums it's very nice to eee you back, I look forward to seeing many more.

it's been a while Fiona but worth waiting for you may have gone through a dry period but can feel the wetness in your painting, lovely! is that you navigating through tricky artistic waters if so you have captained the ship superbly!

Many thanks Jim, Barry and David......you say the nicest things!

So pleased to see you back -I had assumed you may have been busy preparing for the June exhibition you mentioned. I really like this -especially the colours you have used for the boat & reflections.

Welcome back, Fiona, and with a bang too! Lovely lively piece. Love the immediacy and the palette.

Thank you very much for your lovely comment Carol. It was the first full day of the exhibition today, we had the opening day yesterday for the invitation only guests.....very busy! Runs for two weeks! How are you getting on with your return to painting?

Seok, thank you, you are very kind.

Lovely pen and wash work Fiona, nice to see you back :)

Thank you very much Keith, hope to get back in to the swing!

While not posting as often as I should, I've missed you as well, Fiona! I know the feeling of dry spells as well and sometimes simply need the rejuvenation of doing something completely different. I love boats of every description and this one I can hear the engine purring as it makes its way along the coast. Take care!

Wib, thank you very much for your very kind comment. I'm an obsessive gardener and I think that all my creative energy goes into the garden at this time of year. Come late summer, early autumn I'll be obsessed with painting again! I'm a simple soul with simple needs....a daily fix of art or gardening! Lol Thanks again.

16 x 12 pen & watercolour. Apologies for lack of comments from me recently....and postings. It's been a dry old ship in the arty department, hope this quickie breaks the dry spell! Hope you're all well!
