Tuscan roses

Joe when I opened your painting up...the whole room lit up with sunshine!! It's super, so bright, unlike the view out of my window at the moment. Love the cast shadows of the climber.

This is really beautiful Joe. Well done.

Thankyou, Denise and,again,Fiona. I appreciated your comments

A beautifully executed watercolour. Can't wait for sunny warm days like this!

Thank you,Carole: I guess you have to be in Italy for the lasting sun

As has already been said a fantastic feeling of sunshine and shade is this but I also love the way you have depicted the texture of the walls. A stunning watercolour.

This is a super watercolour Joe, the drawing, colour and tones are all spot on but as Fiona has said the shadows are the icing on the cake. Hope to see more of your work.

Love the painting Joe, colours and shadows bringing the painting alive - wishful thinking Summer is on its way, but you certainly have brought the sunshine into my house today!

I agree with everyone, stunning watercolour Joe

I agree with everyone, I can feel the reflective heat off the wall. Terrific!

Thank you, Glennis, Stephen Val, Fred and Petra. for your comments. I think your kind words provide the real sunshine

Volterra is my favorite place in Tuscany, you have captured it wonderfully, great.

The light and shadows captured perfectly, Joe. I have tried a similar painting at my place in Spain but, regrettably, not with such an outstanding result ! Well done !

Thank you Janet and Lionel. How nice to hear from someone who knows Volterra and someone who is familiar with Spain

Hi Joe - superb and so pleased you are still wielding the brush - hope to see more of your postings in the new year.

This is just stunning, Joe. Beautiful scenery, bright colours, perfectly executed, I love it. Well done!!

Lovely pastel colours. I can hear the cicalas!

Thank you,Mia, Kim and Michael for your encouraging comments

A lovely piece, with great light effect and atmosphere.

I appreciate your kind comment, Seok
