Wow, they just get better and better!

Again, you have really got the sense of the rocks looming above.

Impressive painting again - love the idea of kebab skewers to help make a painting - whatever works for you.

Heather Love, thank you so much :) William Batty, I'm so you glad you connect to it that way :) Robert Jones. glad you like that, painting is just a collection of marks made in so many different ways, some painters get the same effect from the end of a paint brush handle :)

Great series of paintings.

Emma Price, I'm delighted you like them. I'll post the last four in the collection tomorrow 😄

Excellent painting full of light & drama.

These really are beautiful!
