Villa Mirabello, Monza Park

Charming watercolour, Kim. Love the colours and the story of this beautiful building.

Lovely watercolour Kim. I like the way you have implied the detail, rather than over working it.

Beautiful work Kim! You have such a delicate touch with your brush and colours.

I envy your loose style Kim - great.

Brilliant! This actually looks as if it could have come straight out of one of Charles Reid's books and that is meant as a huge compliment I assure you. However, I know that you don't really know or follow his work and this is completely your own style so I can only think that great impressionistic watercolourists think alike! I wish I could think like that - very envious of your skill.

Thanks to you all. I submitted this painting to a plein air competition last year and they inflicted a 2nd prize on me, which was a nice surprise. Thea: I've seen Reid's work of course (not least thanks to your encouragement!). There's has always been a stylistic convergence between us. But he's a master, a true master, so there any similarity ends!

Agree with above comments, you have not overdone the details in this obviously lovely villa, what you have shown is just enough
