I like this, Mia, especially all the different textures you have created.

A lovely peaceful, almost sleepy feel to this one. It seems to me to be a quiet moment on the lake. I like the composition and the detail here especially the grasses in the foreground.

A lovely study - especially like the execution of the boat - such a difficult subject and so well done.

I like the textures and grasses in this work Mia---- and that boat -- wonderful work

I love your palette here.... and the cmposition with the reeds in front. Nice work Mia.

Beautiful painting , the boat and the grasses in the fore ront, lovely and crisp!

Lovely painting Mia, well drawn and painted...I like it.

That boat is beautifully observed, lovely composition and I like your handling of the reflections both foreground and distant. Super!

This painting works very well,Mia. I particularly like the way you have cropped the top of the cliff so the eye is drawn back to the boat

Beautiful painting Mia, peaceful athmosphere, very well painted

Your pen and wash work is always so delicately done with gentle soft washes and never too heavy on the pen and this one is no exception. That boat is beautifully drawn and I too like the grasses in the foreground, a super painting.

Wow, so many positive comments. I thank you all very, very much. I appreciate :)

A real 'Mia' classic - delicate, beautiful penwork and such a great 3D effect on the boat. Lovely work as always.

Beautiful Mia, brilliant boat!

Thank you very much, Thea and Fiona. All comments coming from such great artists as you all are is a real boost for me to continue!!!

A lovely peaceful scene beautifully drawn,

They already have said it it all the others but just to let you know Mia that I agree! Beautiful as always!

A lovely fresh painting, you have captured the shape of the boat so well! The foreground grasses add another touch of interest. Delightful!

William, Satu and Helen, I thank you very much for your lovely comments!

This is really, really beautiful, Mia! I love the way you depicted the movement of the water, conveying the image of a boat rocking on turbulent water. And the reeds in the foreground - beautifully done! Apologies for the late comment. I've been away and am now slowly catching up.

Thank you very much, Seok. No problem with the late comments. Any comment is always highly appreciated, especially coming from such a talented artist as you are yourself!

visited your portfolio after your kind comments...this is my favourite....excellent

Thank you very much, David. I appreciate.

Gorgeous and easy to see why you get so many comments on these super pen and wash works Mia, that boat is a joy!
