Superb!

I love how you keep things for us to imagine. That touch of Burnt Sienna is perfect as is all the rest.

Fantastic! love your colours and the way you have captured the golden light.

This is lovely. It's great to have the atmosphere behind the painting too.

I can totally identify with your experience, Kim! A gorgeous result, though. Love the sunlit effect and the wonderful use of lost and found edges.

Thanks to you all. The whites are actually created with masking fluid (I never use gouache) applied rather clumsily. I beg forgiveness owing to the blistering heat!

Wonderful study in how to create a painting by defining the light and shade. Done in your signature palette, which always works so well.
