Beautiful painting Mia, very well painted

This is lovely, Mia, very effective. i like the way you have drawn attention to the light-house, and supported it with a more subdued background. Very well done.

Really lovely, Mia. Have missed your presence here recently - or have I just missed some of your work?

Hi Mia, this is very effective, I like the way the colours are so muted. Like Jane I have missed your posts - hope you are ok.

Good to see your work again Mia. Seems like ages ago that I last saw one of yours! You see, we missed you! This is another lovely delicate pen and wash. Just enough detail and not overworked. Well done yet again!

Mia - there is a lovely simplicity to this that really appeals

Thank you all so very much, Petra, Larry, Ruth, Jane, Debs, Louise and Michael, for your lovely comments, I really appreciate, because it is an earlier work. As you can read on my latest blog "Mia" (I hope it is still on the first page), I was away on holiday for a few weeks, swapping houses with my youngest daughter, so I didn't post any paintings and couldn't comment on any of your works. I try to have a look at the postings I missed in the next days, please do not be offended if I overlook one. Take care, :) Mia

Beautiful work wonderful painting. I like it very much

Glad to see you back Mia, this is beautiful pen and wash, great subject.

Lovely delicate work. I like it's simplicity

I always look at yoor work and think of the "little People" Up the airy moubtain down the rushy glen. A very nice piece of work.

Super picture, Mia. I particularly like the limited colours of the so delicate pen and wash . Perfect !

There isn't much more I can add Mia, except it's great to see your postings again, what a stunner to come back with!!!

Simply beautiful !

Thanks, Charles, Carole, Harry, Sylvia, Roger, Fiona and Denise for your positive comments. I am very surprised and honoured to have so many comments. I am grateful to you all for taking the time to have a look at my work and post a very nice comment. Love :) Mia

Mia, so glad you're back! I've missed seeing your postings! Love this - so very beautifully pristine and so very well composed. It's gorgeous.

Lovely picture and everbody above has said it all. Carole has it about right beautiful pen and wash.

Superb as usual Mia. Hope that you had a nice break.

Wow, so many lovely comments and welcome backs. Thank you very much, Seok, Joy and Sarah. Yes, Sarah, I had a nice holiday away from everything. I even didn't have the time to sketch or draw, although I had all my painting things with me.... If I post any works in the coming weeks, it will also be earlier work, because I am preparing my solo exhibition in October (see my Blog "Holiday" or "Mia").

You have captured a lovely atmosphere in this painting Mia.

Thank you very much, Lesley, I really appreciate!

An earlier pen and wash from a lighthouse somewhere in America. Not in full colour and not completely monochrome, that was how I wanted the painting to be... All comments very welcome.
