Very nice Mia, I like the way you just hinted at the distant trees, 'less is more' as the saying goes.

nice painting Mia, I like the subject you chose to paint and the way you rendered the thatched roof, all to-gether a nice piece

Just a lovely picture, Mia, that for me conveys comfort and calmness. I love the way you have handled all the foliage.

Yup Mia - same with me - the neck. Just had my MRI scan resulst today which told me what I already knew. Extensive wear & tear causing damage to the neck and a slipped disc which is causing a bulge and pressure on the nerve. The nerve unfortunately goes down my right arm - which restricts my painting/drawing. No one can see this though and so my boss is less than sympathetic and it worries me that at 50 years old I may loose my job. My chiropractitioner has asked that I only wear my neck brace for a couple of hours each day so as not to weaken the muscles. Do you have yours on permanently? With great empathy & understanding for your predicament - Jamie PS. God day today and so able to use the computer more than before. Your work is great - by the way - as if you didn;t know!!

A re-posting of an earlier work (deleted by accident). Pen and wash of what in my opinion is a typical English cottage. I love those cottages very much. All comments very welcome :) Mia
