I love your work so much, just want to see more. Superb.

Another beautiful image, Mia. Like Brigitta I love your pen and wash drawings.

A delicate touch. The shadows from the stones in the wall are great.

I keep using the word "exquisite" to describe your paintings, Mia, but they really are! I absolutely love the line work and the feather-light washes, made all the more effective by that gorgeous pop of color. Superb!

Thank you very much Brigitta, Margaret, Tony, Dennis and Seok for your positive and encouraging comments. They give me great pleasure.

The rose tree stands out , love its shadows on the wall and the neutral background, Mia.

Beautiful work as always Mia.

Many, many thanks Annick and Val. Much appreciated.

Your decision to treat the background in a casual way Mia has made a wonderful backdrop to your rose tree. The rich red and green looks stunning.

Beautifully done Mia

Lovely painting Mia. I really like this style, the shadows make you feel the strength of the sun. The perfect picture to look at on these cold winter days, a promise of sunny days to come.

Pen and wash. I wanted to put the focal point onto the rose-tree, so I painted the background in Neutral Tint, shadows with Neutral Tint and Cobalt Blue. The accent is completely on the rose-tree (I hope!!!). All comments are very welcome :) Mia
