I have had to log on to congratulate you on this WONDERFUL painting. I can't believe how much realistic detail you have managed to portray. It makes me realise I have a long way to go!

Excellent work you have produced. Must be the most realistic watercolour I have ever seen. Beautiful!

Just like Sue Petty, had to log on for this one. The realism is unbelievable! How ever did you get such a black background in watercolour?

Don't know how you did it either, but it's a very effective painting - it's the colour that most attracts me,but I should be fascinated to know how you got a) that inkily dark background, b) those extremely believable water droplets.

I agree with all the above. This is just magnificent! I never saw a watercolour painting like that.
