Love this and the colours work v well. Interesting question too. For me if I don't like something I've done then I never like it despite what people might say. However, if I like something I've done and others see faults that hurts!

Thank you so much Heather and I totally get what you mean. I used to paint with an imaginary critic on my shoulder. I just stopped doing it one day and enjoy painting a lot more... I love it when people like my work although I get surprised when paintings I think are my least attractive are the favourites of viewers and my personal favs are overlooked... but it's okay :)

I'm fascinated by the change in perspective this little flying camera can give, I wonder what traditionalist think about using them, but when have artists sought approval other than their own, who are we painting for?... a question I have never stopped asking.
