La Rocca, Garda

Very evocative of the warmth and vitality of Italy. It's almost impressionistic..you have used the knife well.

It is great fun painting with the knife - but a bit heavy on expensive paint. However, you've achieved great texture and movement with the technique, so was worth the cost.

This is lovely. The interesting texture really adds to the whole ambiance of the scene.

Thank you everyone, I'm resisting the temptation to fiddle!
