Lovely use of wet in wet to paint this jolly little frog leaping for a lily leaf. Nicely loose and expressive work, Carole.

Will that frog make it to the lily pad? Love it Carole!

Well done Carole for this little beauty making it to the e-newsletter, well deserved I'm sure.

Love the soft touches that you caught in this painting contrasted with the detail, the frog is wonderful! Thank you also for your encouraging comments on my painting of Mitre Peak, NZ.
