This is lovely, I like the blossom. Great colours too.

Interesting effects, I particularly like the foreground with the addition of the salt for some lovely results.

I love the effects you have created in this painting Marian. Very cleverly done. Thank you for your comments on Archie - good luck with the painting of Charlie - I look forward to seeing it.

At this time of the year the campo is particularly beautiful with the almond blossom. I like the wet in wet technique and had been looking at some Nita Engle paintings. I threw the blues and yellows onto wet paper and directed it with a spray. I then used salt to give some texture and when dry added the wall and blossom with gouache.
