Thank you very much for your positive comments. Because I made it a few years ago, I am not sure I can still do it. Everytime I see an earlier work, I am wondering, did I really did that?

I like the addition of pencil work to a painting, and do it myself. I also like to see the pencil drawing in a painting as it is part of the whole and shouldn't be hidden in my view. This works very well indeed, Mia.

Sorry for the late respons, Thea. Thank you very much for your nice comment and I agree 100% with you about the pencil lines.

Looking through my box with earlier paintings, I found another one in the same technique, Syd. The date on the back is Sept.5th 2007. I think I made the pencil drawing using a graphite pencil 4B, then added the watercolour and finally added a few pencil lines for the details. All comments are very welcome. Thanks :) Mia
