What a fabulous painting and I really like how you've used a palette knife

Thank you for your kind comment, Heather...

That's fabulous, Jan, what a joyful piece of work, beautiful and loosely painted.

A very special moment and a lesson for humanity. Lovely work Jan.

Thank you for your nice comments, Thalia and Jim...

Great style and technique!

This is a lovely, touching, moment you have captured perfectly Jan.

Thank you for your encouraging comments, Andrew and Carole...

That was a very special moment and you’ve captured it well. Your skill with the palette knife is amazing!

I echo what others have said...you captured a beautiful moment so well here Jan.

Thank you for your lovely comments, Fiona and Diane...
