Beautifully done, Michael. Love the colours for the castle goiing nicely with the sky.

The subject (or one of them) of the BBC's paint challenge last year. Nicely done Michael.

Lovely view well painted, Michael.

Thanks for your kindness Fiona.

But where is Harry Potter? Nice painting!

Lovely balanced and interesting picture.

Thanks Linda and Shirley.

I really like the movement in this and the washes. Great stuff.
