Yes beautiful Jenny lovely work

Thanks Dennis, comments much appreciated, as always.

Lovely again Jenny, I like the clingfilm use. Don't know if you saw my answer to your yupo paper enquiry but I got it from SAA through eBay. Only £7 for 10 sheets A4.

Carole, thanks - and yes I did see your reply re yupo paper (sorry, meant to thank you). My art club is a member of SAA and when I phoned them to check they said I could buy directly from them at members rates (incl. free postage) which is very handy!

Beautiful I love the colours and design

Very clever use of the structure of the cling film Jenny, adds another dimension to your already super design.

Thanks very much Ruthy and Fiona.

Dear little bunnies...they deserve an "AHHH!" What has interested me also is the beautiful and unusual work you have done in the top third of the painting, Jenny.....Was it achieved with cling film?

Yes of course it is cling film...Fiona spotted that . I agree entirely with what she says.

Thanks, Ruth. Yes, I did use clingfilm, although find I get much more interesting results if, instead of applying the inks first and then the clingfilm, I wet the paper with clean water, apply the clingfilm and pull it into roughly the shapes I want, then dribble the ink onto the paper behind the clingfilm. This one worked out nicely, although it's almost impossible to get exactly the same effect a second time!

I love the luminous glow of the inks, the palette and compositional design of the piece. It's super, Jenny!

Thanks Seok, much appreciated.

Another delightful piece Jenny

Thanks, Dermot!

My second attempt at the bunnies - the earlier one was the first of these little ink paintings that I did and it was rather overworked and heavy on the ink. Hopefully this one is much better.
