Many thanks Nora.

These are excellent, I'd say very like Dame Elizabeth Blackadders style, only yours is better! She tends to let her cats wander over hers leaving paw prints and smudging the paint, thinks it adds a bit of life. I think it just makes them look messy! I haven't managed to paint a decent watercolour for a while now, even my Christmas card for this year was a failure and that had flowers on it !!

Gorgeous Irises. So expertly painted Carole. Excellent.

Val, I cannot imagine being as good as E. Blackadder. Wish I was as famous !!! But thank you for your very kind comment. I seem to be at a standstill at the moment, can't find the inspiration , that's why I keep fishing out my old paintings! Thank you Jeanette, much appreciated.

Very well executed, I like the bold style and I know how difficult a subject irises can be - but orchids are worse still!

What a georgeous painting beautiful colours could reach out and touch them

I have had many comments from you, thanks for them all. I have now found you, these are beautiful, so perfectly painted. I shall look up E. Blackadder.

I think Carole , that the Blackadder comparison is very flattering...to HER. You have a marvellous sensitive touch in your flower paintings. I like them best of all you portfolios.
