This is very well observed Steven, I wonder what the gossip is ?

Loose and lovely. I particularly love the washes of pale violet, and wonder how these are achieved, as they seem almost to form a pattern.

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. Lynne, the patterns are formed using masking tape cut into shapes and stuck to the painting before adding glazes.

Just in awe of your paint handling. It is superb.

Beautifully observed figures and love the composition. I cannot begin to imagine how you built this painting up. Super!

Great subject, wonderful colours (especially the startling pink lady) and I love your loose way of painting Steven. A stunning painting.
