Beautiful painting Carole. What paper do you prefer? Regards, Patricia.

Lovely work as ever Carole.

Thanks all for kind feedback. Patricia this was a spare piece I think from Saunders Waterford. I like the paper also I like Fabriano Artistico but far too expensive now.

Beautiful colours and washes, Carole.

Lovely Carole. You’ve really captured that old ,slightly withered look

Posted by Diana Boanas SWA on Wed 24 Jan 21:23:02

Thanks so much for your generous comments. I liked the first colour washes I had used thought roses would take nicely over them. I used Daniel Smith colours for this.
