A Cottage In The Country

Is this another scraperboard. By you or your wife? I can't imagine the work that goes into one of these especially the trees in the background and the hollyhocks. To get the differing tones like that is really good.

Another by Betty the wife, i don't know how she does it !!!! Thank you Diana, i did enjoy doing this one very much, but it did take me a while to do it, i had only just put it on the gallery & went back to edit it when i found your comment. Thank you so much i do appreciate the comments i get, it encourages me to do more of the same thing.

What patience, the finished result is lovely.

Lovely one, very charming, what patience !

This is so clever. The Hollyhocks are wonderful. Your wife Betty is a very clever lady Max as Beatrice says such patience. PS thanks Max as always for your very kind comments on my work Best wishes to you and Betty x

I must congratulate Betty on such a superb peice of work. This is beautiful ! Thank you for your kind comments on my work too.

Well done Betty for another excellent and detailed piece of work. You must have the patience of a saint! Lovely composition. Do you make the designs up yourself or do you have a reference photo?

Well who ever produced it deserves the praise...very attractive & exquisitely executed too...I like what I see...

Thank you all for your kind comments, it spurs me on to do more. Yes Thea i had a reference for this one, most of them i do. Thank you once again. Betty.
